~ BACK IN BLACK ~

Hi there!  Warm thanks to those of you who've kept my blog on your reader list despite my long absence from posting.  I've enjoyed simply sitting in the back and following along the last couple months.  Haven't posted any finishes in forever, but happily now have this to share.  I adored stitching on this silk and thankful I have more of it, and in other colors too, it's not your conventional stitching linen, but a very fine base nonetheless.  DH found this great old leather baby boot rooting around in the barn one day and I found the 2 sweet thread spools on the right and the wee silk bobbins at a thrift store for a song...

~ Edgar ~ if per chance you catch this post, here's that Andover Fabrics silk, slubby and prim, easy to stitch on and wonderful in Q-snaps, requires lots of floss for adequate coverage.

On a recent trip to  Denny's, DH found this bolt in the bottom of his drink glass, it's from the inside wall of the ice machine.  It had come loose, fell into the bin and got scooped up with ice, and of course ended up on our table.  I tell ya, if something weird is gonna happen at a restaurant, it ALWAYS happens to DH.

And yes, this stitcher enjoys a little AC-DC now and again, but not while stitching of course:)  Well all, thanks for popping in, wishing each of you a day full of sweet stitches and granted wishes:)

Tootles, Sue
