May 2

Embroidered Portrait.

I’m very pleased with how this came out.  With much inspiration from Theodesign, I free handed this little number onto some scrap fabric.  Even though it is still on the hoop, I am finished with this project, I just need to figure a way to display it.  I was thinking simple, like in the same manner as the Swatch Portraits from the Purl Bee.  However, I have no spare, wooden embroidery hoops.  The next time I’m at the store, I’ll grab some. 

This post came later in the day, it would have been up earlier, but I had a wonderful day out with my entourage horde posse companions, SavannahKay and Kniterally Speaking.  Java at the Gallery Espresso on Bull Street and knitting, a good time was had by all.  Later.

So it begins… May 1

Happy Make-A-Day May, people!  The first project is finished and looking good…  If only you could see it now.  Mr. Yarn Bearer took the camera to work and won’t be returning until tomorrow.  I’ll add the pics to this post then.  But try to imagine a nice felt pin cushion and a Very Easy Pincushion from the Purl Bee.  It feels good to start and finish a project in less than an hour. 

In case your wondering, I don’t have every day of May planned out.  I had made a little list of projects, just as a reminder, but nothing set in stone.  So each day’s project will just depend on my mood, no need for structure here.  Later.
