Thank you Mary! Getting ready to post a video of a drawing I made using one of my stencils. As soon as I get it uploaded…I’m a bit nervous because my video editing skills are lacking 🤣

This is wonderful work. My question is: what are YOU going to put into it? And when are you going to make another, since this was so very good?

Thank you so much Alan! You will laugh…I put FABRIC scraps in it! 🤗 “slow stitch” needlework, as it’s called, is often done on small pieces of fabric so having a stash of “scraps” is quite useful!

Beautiful! Good use of time to listen to an audiobook while making art. And that book is excellent.

I mean here you sing again because I have heard you sing. I can’t remember when you posted that I think it was around Christmas time the song that you wrote for your friend that was so beautiful.❤️

I’m really just learning it I’ve always wanted to learn how to do it but I was always intimidated by patterns and making things perfect and cutesy and so I never learned it but now I’m following two women on YouTube. I think I’ll put up the link because they are British women that do amazing incredible work.

I hear you! The 'perfect' thing can be a real roadblock! Yes, please do share that link.

I got into a phase where I was embroidering words and trees. Free-flowing...I'll post a notes to show you!
