I've been feeling somewhat out of sorts lately--I'm very much ready to get back to projects I want to be doing, rather than things I feel I should be doing. This was reinforced by the peace of Japanese embroidery yesterday morning on our "First Thursday" meeting. It was exactly what I needed.Here is a pile of assembled needlebooks for the Needle Artisans' show in October. They're still chained here. They've since been cut apart and neatly stacked. I adapted a portion of a design from Maritroshka Biscornu for the design and have printed patterns. I have packages of needles and need to get threads cut and these kits will be ready. Still to do--the embroidery needlebooks which will be felt.I've begun working on a challenge project for my other guild, Homewood. I've been inspired by these books (thanks to World Embroideries for bringing them to my attention).They were a birthday present to myself, as part of the endless birthday in August.
The books came from This and That from Japan on Etsy. I could spend hours browsing her books.
you will have perle & needles on Tuesday. If you need them quicker, I could probably drive them to your home this week-end. let me knwo!!!!
