I know it's very difficult to see but yes there HAS been progress on the landscape....probably about ten hours worth of embroidery so far. I know - I need to get a life!
Another of my evening projects involved making this little guy...
He will accompany a copy of THIS book that will be gifted at Christmas to #2 grandie. Pattern is from HERE.
Today's quote is from John Lennon..."When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life"
Your embroidery is beautiful. It shows your skill and love for needlework. And that little monster is going to get a lot of love from #2 I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI rather like that little monster myself so hopefully he'll be loved by #2 grandson too. Thank you for the kinds words!
DeleteOh my, What a Life, indeed! your embroidery is incredible. I couldn't love this piece more! I also love the quote. That's one for my journal!
ReplyDeleteAwwww - thank you! Glad you like both the project AND the quote.
DeleteYour "little somethin' " is super. Such lot of stitching and well worth the time taken. Cute monster, one of the boys will love.
ReplyDeleteYes, there's lots of stitching - 5 more hours today and not much that shows for all that. Good thing I don't get paid by the hour!
DeleteMA Dear your embroidered flowers are gorgeous. They really add so much to this precious church landscape. Nibbles is adorable and will be such a wonderful gift along with the book. Wonderful quote!
ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry - I love to embroider so it's no hardship to add the flowers. I rather hate to part with Nibbles but I know he'll be loved.
DeleteWhat gorgeous stitchery. Wow I could never stitch for that long at a time. You are amazing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
There's about 15 hours into the embroidery at this point and not nearly done. I really DO need to get a life!!
DeleteYour embroidery is lovely Mary Anne and who wouldn't love that cute little monster? He's adorable!! Some beautiful quilts to look at in that online exhibition. Hope you're keeping warm and well! Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine. The wee monster is definitely cute - I haven't actually read the book it's going along with but little ones supposedly love it.
DeleteOh, I don't know, ten hours and more of embroidery is the perfect way to spend one's life. Those happy yellow flowers are gorgeous. Cute little monster, too.
ReplyDeleteGood think I don't expect to get paid by the hour when it comes to the embroidery part of the landscapes!
