I've been working on this project for almost three months, and last night bound off the last of the band around the front ---
it will now take several evenings to weave in all the ends and finish the front -- including making the loops for the buttons and sewing on the buttons
I did slip it on over my pjs, and it fits very nicely
YIPPEE!!
the completion of this project means I'll be doing swatch knitting for a Christmas project soon
this is "off the sticks" too
link number 4 for the current bracelet project
these smaller links go pretty quickly and are pretty much a "happening" -- I just start picking up beads and stitching them down in patterns until the space is filled up then I added some embellishment on top of the beading
I have a few more of these to do, and I'm trying to make each one different
the first flower has been placed in the vase
a couple of years ago I would not have been confident enough of my applique skills to even think about fussy cutting such a complex flower and stitching it down like this
practice makes perfect!
next step is to fill the taller vases
studio security is taking a nap
with her tongue sticking out just a tiny bit
and one eye partly open
silly --- very silly
time to make a quick grocery run then get to work on projects
