I've also cut the backing fabric to size for the hardanger cushion/pillow and pressed all that ready to be tacked and sewn together and we went to Costco for the first time on Monday night where I got some watercolour pencils. They're only the kids' version, but it's a good brand nonetheless and will do to get going with the medium - if I can ever sit up long enough to draw!!!! It's a good thing I'm not the moaning, whining type, I'll tell you!
So, I think there's no danger of my having even one of these pieces finished by the time we get back to language classes on Wednesday, but I will at least have made some progress. Oh, and I'm reading Elizabeth Gaskell's 'Sylvia's Lovers', which I'm not finding myself getting on with so far. I've only read the first 5 chapters, but I find the regional dialects hard going and the subject hasn't hit the spot yet. Early days yet though.
I hope you're feeling better soon. Looks like you're working on some fun stuff.

Sending good thoughts your way, hope you get to feel better very soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bummer to be sick on and off. You just don't need that! I hope the doctor's have some magical thing to suggest. I know when it was "my turn" to have a sickly winter, there was no hope...I just had to be sick on and off all winter. The bee's wing is amazing! I can't say I've seen anything like it before. Looking forward to watching the piece come to life with such neat additions. You had lots going on this past year..the "do-to" won't go anywhere. It'll wait for you!
ReplyDeleteFeel better!
