(The true "ON AGAIN", "OFF AGAIN" girl!)
Unlike many of you, I can go days without a needle and thread. Oh! It makes me so crabby though! I try to keep my pen busy at my desk as I work through a HUGE stack of work.
If you look too long, you'll realize that I don't study bird anatomy. (He needs more of a crook in his neck if he thinks he can stand THAT way!) Such is life, right?
In between our "visits" my daughter and I tried a bit of stump work. I have only trimmed out one top wing, and one lower wing, but me likey!
A little more work on the spacing of the top black line work is needed, but that's what I love most about a photograph, and looking at a piece of work from a different prospective. I will use this to perch atop of one of my exchange pin cushions.
I have gotten the centers printed for my next Round Robin exchange, just need to assemble the blocks. I'm wrestling a bit with my preferences for these blocks as I think I want all white stitching. (My daughter thinks I'm being too restrictive.)
Lastly, I've been shopping in Turkey again. I may have to block my friend Rengin on facebook. I have such futile resistance! She puts all these sets up, and they just scream at me!
Hope you all have a fabulous week!

Shopping in Turkey, haha, love it.
The butterfly will have the perfect spot on top of one of your pin-cushions. Beautiful.
I love the idea of all-white stitching. I've been tempted by that myself.
Hey, who fixed up our blog? It looks great! I love the photo in the header.
Barbara, I've taken over as admin until Debra wants it back and I changed up the look. I found the photo in the header through a google search and thought it was perfect. Not sure if the ladies are drinking tea, coffee or something else but they sure look to be having a grand time.
Fitzy I love your bird!
I have yet to try stumpwork but it is on my list for one day.
I agree with Barbara, I like the idea of all white stitches, very wintery and snowy to make Santa feel at home!
The butterfly looks fun. WIll look forward to seeing it on top of a pincushion. =)
And all white/silver stitching with the santas sounds intriguing
Stumpwork is so fun to do, and creates a wonderful effect. Your butterfly will be perfect perched atop your pin cushion. I think the white stitching on your Santas will be stunning. I love white on white--one can add a great deal of texture and dimension without having it look too busy. I shall look forward to seeing more. Love the bird!
Wonderful new things. I like your blue bird. It's okay if he isn't anatomically correct. =) The butterfly is great, too.
