Incoherent Scribblings

The Water Fountain

Yep! I have jumped on the YouTube bandwagon. Check out my directorial debut!

Stitching Large

I know I have been quite chatty today, but it is Wednesday and time for the SBQ you know, so here is one last post for the day.

This week’s SBQ was suggested by Vash and is:

Have you ever used a magnifying glass while stitching? If so, did you find it helpful?

To date I have not used any type of magnifier while stitching. However, if I ever get brave enough to try something like over one on 40 count I am sure it would be most helpful!

Friendship Bag

Today my Friendship Exchange from Ash arrived in the mail. Though the exchange was a friendship exchange, we weren’t required to stitch something that said “friend,” rather the goal of the exchange was to get to know your partner and stitch something that she would like.

For example, when I chose my design for Ash I chose a Victoria Sampler design because I have seen her stitch one or two of them and I thought she would like it. The fact that it had “friend” in the title was merely a coincidence.

Anyway, as I love basically anything and everything cat and have a weakness for those funny little Margaret Sherry designs, Ash fittingly chose to stitch me Margaret Sherry’s “Pot-Purri.” She then turned it into an awesome little tote bag. (You can’t see it from the picture, but the stitched piece actually forms a pocket on the outside of the bag.)

The bag is the perfect size for a book or some stitching, and in fact when I peeked inside the bag some stitching is exactly what it contained: Ash was also generous enough to include Margaret Sherry’s “Purr-fick.” Ever since I stitched “Purr-Plexed” I have wanted to stitch its companion piece so I will definitely be putting a needle into “Purr-fick” soon.

Thanks again for everything Ash!

A Flowery Finish

This morning I completed “Stiefmütterchen!” I don’t have much to say concerning the last two pansies so I will just leave you to enjoy a picture of the finished product.
