FUNKY ROSE 2

Lots going on and too many things left undone at the end of the weekend.  Sound familiar?  But anyway, Saturday was a stitch-in day and we had a great time.  Great company and a great lunch provided by the hostess.  But back to work on Sunday. I've been moving along on my latest project so wanted to share some update photos.   In the  photo below I have completed the first "border" and the ribbon portion of the the rose is done and beads added to the petals. (More beading left to be done on the rose....and maybe some re-done!) The photo at right shows more paint added and the center of the rose is complete.  The second and third "borders" are underway.  I have made sketches of these but making everything fit together as I have envisioned is always a challenge.  More embellishment to come!  

 I want  to thank all who found this blog and website this past week due to the link to Winter Frost on the ANG List.  I hope you continue to enjoy the blog and don't hesitate to contact me or comment if you have any questions or comments.

STITCH INS

I am fortunate to live in an area where there are several local needlework guilds. Aside from our monthly meetings we try to have at least one stitch in a month. These get togethers have become some of my favorite activities....particularly as I work at home....and this is a fun way to keep up with other stitchers. Yesterday's stitch in was so enjoyable I hated to leave.

Now that I think more about it, the enjoyment I get from attending these might have contributed to my deciding to begin a blog.......if a small group is good, might a larger group not be even more fun?!
