weekending....

 

A little of this....

• road tripping with friends to a fiber festival
• popping into a yarn shop
• popping out of the yarn shop with some yarn

A little of that....

• road trip knitting on this
• finishing this
• peach/blueberry pie baking

And a whole lot of this...

This piece is finished except for putting something on the 'banner'...any ideas? and turning it into something.....any ideas?

I finally got around to covering an old cigar box...did a little embroidery on the top and had planned to do more.  Got a bit carried away with the glue too soon.

 

  

Its job is to hold current embroidery WIPs.

 

So far so good.

I thought about you yesterday and will admit to being a wee bit envious of your trip ;) So, what yarn did you get?
I have a cigar box just waiting to be dressed up and after seeing yours I think tomorrow would be a great day to start!

Oh, no idea about the banner, but that would make a super cute pillow.

Tracey. ...  fabric glue worked great...almost too great.  Do all the embellishing and embroidery BEFORE you start the gluing!!!  (hee hee....ask me how I know this!)

[Tracey]

Good to know, thank you, I will remember your advice. :)

You're so talented. I had no idea you also embroidered. I'm very impressed with your stitchery.

I love your embroidery box. The threads make me want to start something. Not sure about the banner.....surname, first name of recipient, month, holiday, season. All possible choices. I think it would make a great pillow. The piece is beautiful.

I love your embroidery! I'm going to have to make an embroidered embroidery box too, that is just so charming!

I always love seeing your embroidery! It is something I have never learned, but admire beyond anything. So beautiful! Your weekend sounds lovely :)
