At this point, the sky has been mostly stitched as well as the grass area. Now it's on to the truck itself.
UPDATED TO ADD THIS! Resident Chef treated me to this for my birthday...
- THIS is a really pretty (and easy to memorize!) crochet design for a blanket of any size.
- Some of you might find THIS tutorial useful when making bags.
- THIS is an inspiration link, only, but perhaps if you're inundated with fabric scraps you might get some ideas.
- If you have old books lurking about, perhaps one (or more!) of THESE ideas might be of interest.
Today's quote..."Choose love. Choose inclusion. Choose empathy, compassion, equality, dignity and diversity. Choose community, kindness, integrity, honesty, respect. Choose justice, facts, peace, the planet. Choose humanity. But most of all choose love"
Your landscape is coming together so well...loving all your grasses' interpretations..nice work hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteThank you Julierose - there's some adjustments I think I need to make so we'll see what happens next.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Mary Anne! The orchid is lovely.
ReplyDeleteSo... at first when I looked at your landscape I thought, "Oh cool, I didn't realize there were windmills in the original picture." When I went back to check it out, of course I see bunches of trees. While your white things sure look like windmills, now I'm suspecting I'm wrong, but you've got me sitting on the edge of my seat waiting to find out. :)
You're right - you're seeing wind turbines. Artistic license, what can I say. I wanted to include a field of canola and saw a photo of one that had the turbines so one thing led to another (as it often does in my studio!)
DeleteVery cool! I feel so smart. :)
DeleteYou should probably keep the cehf around! LOL
ReplyDeleteOh definitely! Almost 43 years and counting!!
DeleteSherry of createology: How do I miss your birthday every year my friend. Happy Birthday to YOU…your orchids are lovely. Is your actual birthday on July 21st. That was my Grandpa’s birthday. Your andscape is coming along nicely.. I see giant wind mills. The truck foundation is perfect. I think the kitty was the star of the waffle afghan. Love the book page ideas. Birthday Wishes for YOU…XO
ReplyDeleteFunny how birthdays happen every year - but they're pretty much always low key around here. The exception was going out to a really nice restaurant for supper last night to celebrate his 80th. We arranged it quite well - his b'day is the 21st and mine is the 22nd.
DeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous orchid
I enlarge the photo for a closer look at your stitching. It is fascinating how the different patterns blend so well.
Thank you....now I just have to hope I can keep the orchid alive. My track record for them isn't all that good.
DeleteHappy birthday to both of you! I'm glad you got out for a celebration dinner. Nice orchid.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Normally we don't celebrate birthdays but since his was a 'significant' number I thought it was a good excuse to go out. Then he was feeling guilty, hence the orchid for me.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous orchid. A lovely birthday gift for a lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
awwww - how sweet! Thank you Jackie!
DeleteA great start with the landscape.
ReplyDeleteA very happy belated birthday to you, the orchid is beautiful!
Thank you! I'm always glad when birthdays are behind us though.
DeleteFirst, as I'm catching up on visiting my favorite blogs, let me wish you a belated Happy Birthday!!! That orchid is a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the b-day wishes and yes the orchid is beautiful. Just have to hope I can keep it alive!
