Trying Out An Idea

I want to get to these soon, as I have a lot of ribbon of my own I want to make things out of.  First, follow the experts.

Trellis Done

The green and blue flowers on the left are done, time to go across some more and get the sunflower going.

Purl Soho

I was bad and ordered more stitching supplies, and from a new vendor at that.  Three kits from Purl Soho - an embroidery one, a beading one, and a tiny sewing one.  I like these because absolutely everything is included in the kit - except scissors.

Made For Me

This is a little - odd.  I visit a women's prison every six months or so as part of my job.  The women's prison has crafts and teaches tailoring for when the prisoners get out, so they can find employment.  I have started bringing craft supplies to help them out.  On my last visit, I was given these two purses and bun holders by the lady I visit.  She gave them to me herself.  It's very sweet.  I brought them back to the office and asked about keep/not keep because of our dollar restrictions.  I was allowed to keep them.  The purses are really cute.

Got Mountains?

I now have bits of mountain on both sides, and there's still the tail to do.  But I feel very good with my progress.

Getting Wings

Done with almost all the specialty stitches on part five and have now started part eight.  Going to work on finishing part fives's specialty stitches and getting the wings more pronounced next.

Started A House

The first house is started.  And the vines and such on the right are about done.
