the embroidered home

Stitching is taking over the loft.



Finished up another mini, finally. Working with the plastic canvas takes far too long.



So glad Mark agreed the birdies were a good find ($1.98 at the DAV) or I might have left them behind. They were just what we were looking for to center over the bedroom door! It also turned out to be the perfect spot for Mark's fish, which he found at a garage sale we went to last Spring.



These used to hang in Mark's old place, and I was so happy he brought them home this past weekend. He also found a great spot for them, yay!

Now I just wish I had the time to design and work up my own embroidery, hmph.

too many weeds

I've been getting these goofy cross stitch kits from Joann's lately, they're $1.29 and seriously....Too Many Weeds? Amazing. This is the first I've finished, I think it took a month's worth of occasional lunch breaks to work it up! It's about 2.5" square.



Today I started working on decorating the walls. Too much fun. Ironing old concert posters that never got put up, spray paining clothespins to put them up with, hand washing old vintage fabric goodies that need to be displayed...

New goal: one "finish" a day. UFOs, unfinished projects, etc.
Yesterday it was the Blythe shelf, toady it was the cross stitch. Hoping tomorrow will be the bedroom curtains.
