Wow, busy couple of weeks since I checked in last. I was overly optimistic about things getting better at work. The flip side of that is that I had very little crafting mojo left when I got off work. Also church things are finally starting up again in real life, including my bell choir. Man, am I rusty; felt like I was lifting weights at rehearsal on Thursday. Glad to get back to it, though. I've really missed ringing.
On the handwork front, I'm working on the last of the cutwork napkins. At a little over six hours into my ten hour rotation slot, I've got to here
It's supposed to be nice today, so I'm going to go play in the dirt. Getting the garden ready for planting. Hello Spring!!
Linking up with the rest of the SSS crew (current round up link).
Beautiful napkins! I’ve never done cut work before.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it and the buttonhole stitch edge is very meditative in the long, straight (ish) sections.
DeleteGreat cutwork! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by your cut work project; it is looking beautiful. Have fun playing in the dirt and have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteBell ringing, how wonderful. Sounds such fun but I imagine it would be quite hard on the arms and hands.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like greeting Spring than playing in the dirt and getting your hands dirty. Your cut work is exquisite! Your stitches are amazing...so neat and uniform. You belong to a bell choir...how fun!
ReplyDeleteI would be afraid to use these napkins after all those hours of stitching! Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteYour napkin is beautiful. I have never attempted cutwork but, I have some that an aunt madea long time ago. I love the idea of bell-ringing. Such a talent. Timing is everything. Enjoy getting back into the swing of things.
