There is a little progression to show on my latest hussif...

I have finished the seam at the bottom with the addition of some beads, and also added the vine (not complete yet) that flows across the middle.  It's hard to see in the picture but those round 'things' are actually buttons with tiny little flowers on them.  The heart was added simply as a nod to the inclusion of a little bit of red.


My time over the past week or so has been divided into working on the hussif and also scanning (and uploading to Ancestry) a bunch of old family photos.  It's a time-consuming process but it's fun to see the old pictures of family members, many of whom are long gone.  Once I upload them, I'm then sorting them into family units and passing the originals on to those that might want to have them.  Part of the clearing out process that's ongoing at Chez Magpie!
