A Bird in the Hand

Keeping a record of what you make is very helpful when you go looking for inspiration. I find the things I loved making and something will pop out and say: Make me again. It gets my creative juices flowing.

Some years ago, I embroidered this. I didn't use a pattern, just visualized the shape and "drew" with my needle.

I wanted to do a little stitching and while looking through my files, this called to me. So I pulled out my fabric and embroidery thread, and made another one.

Different sheep, different landscape, but the same feeling of satisfaction.
