I'm officially enamoured of hand-stitching words.
Today, I experimented with very thin twine and heavy brown paper.


I was expecting one of my oldest and closest friends who is in town from Santa Barbara, so I stopped there, and we went out for brunch and other fun things, to say nothing of catching up -- although we talk on the phone regularly.

After we said our goodbyes (she returns to California tomorrow morning), I came home and eventually finished the stitching.

Coup de coeur. Translation:  favorite/things I love



Ná bris do loigrín ar stól nach bhfuil i do shlí. (Do not break your shin on a stool that is not in your way.)

  2. I remember as a little girl when I had similar sewing cards. little holes punched in and my needle would fly in and out!
