I had a visitor earlier this week....the lady that cuts my hair. (yes, she comes to me, I'm not a beauty salon kind of girl) She has been cutting my hair for almost 20 years and not once have I given her a gift. Not because I don't like her, it's just not that kind of relationship although I do like to think that I care about her. She probably doesn't feel the same about me however as I am a very bad customer. I have a 'thing' about getting my hair cut, can't abide it, don't know why, just detest the whole process. My son used to cry every time he got his hair cut when he was a little boy....I wonder if there's a connection there.? Anyway....what on earth has this got to do with embroidery I hear you cry.....I will tell you. Every time she comes she scans the room for whatever I am working on, looks, touches, (if she is allowed). This week she was very taken with the pin pillows in the last image which are in my cabinet. Obviously she had never noticed them before. So......and here's the embroidery bit, I am going to make her one, a surprise. The top has been put together and a little of the titivation has happened. What do you think? I hope she likes it. It will be five weeks before she comes again but I will let you know whether she was delighted or underwhelmed. (and just in case you were wondering, she doesn't visit my blog, doesn't even have internet so we are safe)
I am going away on Monday night, holiday time. The shop will be closing on Sunday night so if you were wondering about signing up for any work on your own classes or even our live class, Sampling for Stitch then please be aware that nothing will be available after Sunday. If you do sign up for Sampling for Stitch you would have the two weeks I am away to catch up. (although catch up isn't compulsory as you have access forever)
I am determined to doodle a little whilst I am away. With that in mind, I got a little excited earlier about an idea I have had. I will share that with you tomorrow.
