Firstly, a view from my window:
And here's a picture of the supplies for the newest project, and a picture of its beginning. I'm embroidering on Osnaburg, because I wanted cloth loose enough to accomodate a lot of stitching. I pulled out some warp and weft threads, too. So far it's working out okay, except that for some stitches I have to sew a lot of background first--otherwise french knots just pop on through to the back.
And lastly, here's something else I recently retrieved from dormancy. I seem to have done enough embroidery in the interim that working on this seemed fast. It's mainly in split stitch.
I think if I get around to posting more often (such as after I actually, for real, get internet access at home) I am going to have to find a different blog publisher, because this one is strongly indifferent to my idea of formatting.

Blog because it's fun, not because you feel guilty about it. :)
I really like the photo of all the supplies. And the associated embroidery will be lovely when it grows up.
What does Princess think of the squirrel?
FUN. That's it. Right. ;)
I think I end up feeling overloaded by all the things I think about posting but never get around to.
Embroidery update will happen soon--funny you should have used the term "grows up," because the embroidery is actually going to be wild crazy flowers.
As for Princess and the squirrel--she does not deign to notice squirrels unless they venture onto the balcony. Out of reach, out of interest.

Yeah, that. :) But if you aren't getting something out of it, don't do it.
Though of course I like having you blogging.

:) You were the final inspiration for me getting started--I enjoy seeing your projects, and wanted to share mine. "Look, Sarah, me too!"
Even the few posts I've managed to publish make a nice record of incremental progress of the sort that I otherwise don't notice.
ooh, the colours are just yummy. I think the pixies will approve :) You are so talented. Keep up the bloggin' and the projects!
Very nice face (great close up photo on clicking)
