Yay! A post about something other than my yard! Last week I attended a wonderful Craft-Tea party at my friend Christina’s house up in Seattle and I had to think of something to bring. My crafting has been pretty much nonexistent of late. I am not sure why, but perhaps Anita Blake Vampire Hunter has something to do with it. I have been carting this Aunt Martha peacock pattern around for years (so long that now it’s a “retired” pattern!) and finally decided to start it. It’s made me remember how much I love embroidery. It’s one of those things that I keep coming back to, but get lured away from by the temptations of more complex projects like woodworking, or something equally complicated and expensive that I never end up doing. I am planning on making this piece into the skirt of a sundress and it’s actually coming a long quite quickly, which is nice. This project is also an exercise in finishing things, which I am notorious for not doing, so I am extra motivated.
You really are making incredible progress! Can’t wait to see it all come together!
Had so much fun last Sunday! We’ll have to do it again soon!
Yes, for sure! I always have a great time. We really miss you guys!
I have been searching for that peacock embroidery pattern. Do you haveasuggestion where I could find it? Thanks.
