All S.E.X.ed Up!!
I got in the mail today the last remaining items to begin stitching on Laura
Perin's Daffodil Collage and Independence Day. (Thank you, Isabel, for the recommendation to Stitchery Row!) And, of course, this shows up while I am putting all my functional hours into a trial with same-day turnaround, so all I can do today is drool and lust, because I have to work. In fact, I've already pawned off two less-critical assignments on a friend, and we're negotiating for her to do two more. Tomorrow is going to be a rainy day, and they don't do trial on Friday, so maybe I can work on Daffodil Collage a bit tomorrow and over the weekend. This is canvaswork, so I guess I have to track down my set of Qs, rather than warping the canvas into a hoop, huh? -- Finished 12/8/04 -- Army bear ornament WIP: Fireman's Prayer (#2), Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

Besides, I'm going to parties tomorrow and Sunday, and the Qs are easier to take along. Sunday afternoon, library party, free food from a top caterer, and interesting books to look at. -- Finished 12/8/04 -- Army bear ornament WIP: Fireman's Prayer (#2), Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

Karen, if I was doing canvas work I think I'd use stretcher bars so that it
maintains a nice even tension all while you are working on the project. But as always......to each his own! I looked up Daffodil Collage. It's really nice.... but lily of the valley would be nicer eh? Couldn't find Independence Day. Mavia "Karen C - California" wrote in message ...

I think we should allow designers to do what moves them, I get enough creative blocks without someone bugging me all the time to do this or that just to make them happy. If they want something so darn badly, maybe they should attempt to design it themselves, if nothing else it would prove just how difficult the creative process really is! Caryn |

Yesterday was the annual library meeting, so I took Daffodil Collage. Got most
of the leaves done. I have maybe two dozen light green stitches up the center of the last leaf and then one stem, and then I can start on the flowers. Met a new friend there, someone who's just moved to the area. She was fascinated by my Qs, and I told her where to find the LNS, too. She didn't think I could get something that large done in a month and a half, till I showed her that the center daffodil was really the only "needlepoint"; everything else is long-stitch and will work up much faster, with one stitch covering 4 or 5 holes, and a lot of blank canvas showing through, too. My source tells me they aren't having a session of trial tomorrow, so I will get an unexpected day off from that project, and a little extra free time to stitch (though I'd rather have the money)! -- Finished 12/8/04 -- Army bear ornament WIP: Fireman's Prayer (#2), Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |
