well, last night i started to embroider for the first time in approximately 25 years. yes, it's been that long. i had some old cross stitch patterns in the box i found with my thread, and i remember using it in college. whew, i'm old :)
anyway, it's kind of fun. i am making an apron out of a really soft linen-ey fabric and some vintage stuff i found at a thrift store. i'm actually just going to embroider the "stems" of some flowers, yet to be determined how i will make those, but they will involve sewing.
it took me a half hour to do one stem, so i can see that this will be a good craft to do whilst watching hgtv this winter :)

I'm diggin' on that turquoise and brown pattern. I wonder if I could have a whole fall wardrobe in that color..
Glad the thrifting is working in your favor. It's hit or miss there...
yes, Rani...there's not alot there - found some good stuff at the Proud Panda this weekend tho :)
karen, i have so much brown and turquoise. might have a couple of birthdays worth here :)
Karen:
I think we must have the same color obsession. I LOVE turquoise & brown. Bobbi is always teasing me about it. When we are shopping I hold something up and say...I don't know why I love this so much! And Bobbi will say...Because it's turquoise & brown :)
KL-They're just PERFECT together, aren't they? I never, ever see those colors together when it doesn't make me smile. :-)
Bob-I keep coming back to look at your pretty work. It's so much nicer than the "Many have eaten, few have died" apron the boys found for me this summer...
Very Very pretty Bob! K~
