Okay, how long has it been since I posted last. Better not look. Sorry I've been such an exceptionally bad blogger so far this year! I have good intentions, but sometimes I come home from work, finish my 'chores' and think I really need to take some photos to update my blog, but usually I just don't have the energy. I finally did drag out my camera. I need something nice and green and pretty to work on as it is frigidly cold out right now. Spring isn't that far off is it? On a whim I pulled out The Trilogy's "Secret Flower Bed". It will measure 4" x 4 when it's finished. There's lots of shades of pink, some reds, greens and even some little bees, a ladybug and a rabbit. There are also a few tiny buttons as well. I'm not sure how I'll finish it. Perhaps a pillow with some nice border fabric?
I also started a freebie by Carriage House Samplings some time ago. I haven't picked it up for a while, but it would be easy to finish if I could find a little extra time. I will definitely finish this as a cushion, and perhaps will even try to make it into a mattress cushion. I've yet to try my hand at that!
I haven't yet started on Toccata 2 yet, though I have pulled it out and taken a look at the chart. It somehow looks more complicated than the first one, but I think I just need to start and it won't seem so overwhelming. I keep looking at the things I want to stitch, but never seem to have the time for them! I need to try and fit in a tiny bit each day--even if it is only 15 minutes! Why is it when you are young you have loads and loads of time on your hands, but as you get older you can't fit everything you want to do in?!
