The happenings at our household this
weekend have been slow and relaxed. I came down with a bad cold /
throat thing, and spent most of Saturday lying on the couch piling up
the Kleenex. Sick of watching tv and my head too fuzzy to concentrate
on a book, I remembered an embroidery project I planned to start. I
loved that one issue of Martha with all the bird embroidery. So I
printed out the pattern from her website, and kept myself happy (or as
happy as one can be confined to the couch) with a few hours of redwork.
![]() I am so happy with the results I plan to frame it, and I have almost completed a second one to make a lovely pair. The only other excitement Saturday brought was a copy of a book in which two of my knitting patterns were published. Eons ago I was contacted by a publisher asking if I would be willing to contribute two or more patterns to a teen knitting book destined for release in the Fall of 2006. Even though I think there are way too many teen / kid-based knitting books out there, I couldn't turn down the offer for a little cash, and who doesn't like to be published. I should have been prepared for how long it would take to get my copy of the book, after all it was months before I received my copy of SNB Nation after I was published there. Anyhow here are a couple snippets of what I contributed. ![]() Sunday morning brought some relief to my sore throat, but my head it still quite stuffy. The warm breeze blowing in woke me up early, and in a simple celebration of the summer-like weather I had strawberries and cream for breakfast. ![]() And finally before I forget, here is the promised photo of the dress I made a couple weeks back. It's comfortable and the pattern was so simple... ![]() |

Zaz September 14, 2007 06:48 AM PDT ![]() hello :) you have not changed from when u were a kid. it's very cute. mom had some silk fabric with guilded embroidery that was a remnant of something that her own mom kept. mom put it under a glass frame with a very nice matt silver/gold frame that was antique i suppose. maybe this way you can protect your quilt and still look at it... it's funny cause i called her yesterday asking if i could "inherit" those. on another note, can you please tell me what simplicity pattern the dress is? i so love this style... thank you very much. you will find my email in my blog. | ||

Faith April 23, 2007 09:42 AM PDT ![]() Love the dress! The redwork is beautiful too. I love the simpliity of it. I did a square once for a friend's quilt, and had quite forgotten how much I enjoyed it. Thanks for bringing this back to my attention. =) | ||
