Work in Progress

I was finally able to get more done on this piece...  Eve's Glow.  October's Glow.  October Eve.  (sigh)  Still not decided on the title.  I am really enjoying every stitch though.  ; )

rusty French knots in the reeds to show off curls

I am still so very impressed with how those Wonderfil rayons really make the water look like water.

I'm also at the point of hand stitching this piece.  I haven't shown you yet.  It's a new take on Bloom.  It's 3x9 inches... vertical!  I love the feel that cropping things differently creates.  Here's some pretty close-ups of the work thus far.

Bloom 3, in progress

Here is the first Bloom from last year, 6x8".

Bloom, 2011 (sold)

Now that I have more colors, I really look forward to stitching in the blanket flowers onto Bloom 3. 

Check this out.  I was wandering aimlessly around a department store, looking for treasure to perk me up after a week of tending to sick me and sick children.  (Do you ever do that?)  I found it!  Bernat decorative bundles of yarn fibres.  It's a 'scarf making kit' at Zeller's... but I have other plans for these pretties.

mmmm... couching, couching, and more couching : )

No kidding!  Zeller's for ten bucks each.  Nice.  There's a heck of a lot there!  I'm impressed.
