A Little Color

I got to do some non-brown stitching this time.  There's a nice orange flash on the peacock now.

May's Done

I finished May a couple of days before the end of May.  It felt good to be able to take a few days off from this project.  I do like how it's coming together.

New Tool

I collect hairsticks that I use as laying tools.  This latest hand carved piece was bought in Odessa when we were there for the weekend a couple of weeks ago.  It's got a lovely satiny finish.

Ipsy-fied

For the past few months I've been getting ipsy bags.  They're very inexpensive and give me a way to try new things.  This is what I received in my May bag.  Everything comes completely unharmed in a cute pink metallic mailing envelope, even all the way to Moldova!

Heart Squared

It's been a while since I finished it.  I had wanted to make it into a cushion, but Andreas wanted to frame it, so that's what happened.  The frame was hand painted at MolDeco, and they did their usual fantastic job.
