This is the view west on Main Street from my front porch just now. Saturdays are usually pretty quiet around here anyway, but when Mother Nature sends this stuff, it is down right cryptic around here.
These are the Spruce trees along the edge of my parking lot. Aren't they pretty?
Anyway, when it gets like this on a Saturday, I try to get productive. I've been doing so much computer work this week that I can't stand it anymore so I decided to sew instead. (It's only 11a.m. right now so I have a lot more time to find stuff to do!)
This beauty has been draped across the back of the pink comfy chair in the corner almost since I opened. Years ago I was really into fancy embroidery, silk ribbons and beads. This was an experiment in crazy quilting and embellishment. Today I decided to finish it up into something useful. I squared it up and put a back on it and now it is a pillow cover. The finished size is about 15x15 and I don't have a 14 inch square pillow form handy so I can't test how it looks completely finished. I don't know what I'll do with it. There is a lot of detailed handwork on it so I have no idea what to charge if I were to try to sell it. I guess I'll just keep it around to further illustrate that I have a lot of talents that really aren't very practical but sure are pretty!
Now I think I may go dig out those children's choir robes and see if I can get them finished up.
Good heavens, look at all that snow! No wonder you are nesting and being creative. That will make a beautiful pillow cover...you really are so incredibly talented.

That pillow is absolutely gorgeous! You would have to charge a fortune for it but if it were me, I simply wouldn't be able to part with it! Great work.
ReplyDeleteI tried to access your pattern for the Mom's lace scarf, and got an error; will that pattern become available again sometime? I want to try my hand at lace, but with something simple, and relatively small... If not this pattern, do you have any suggestions?
