One Thing Leads to Another

Yes. I get distracted in the least bit of way, but while trying to accomplish the laundry, which is so conveniently close to my sewing space, I had this sampler by Little House Needleworks that I finished a very long time ago and it's been

 in a large frame.

 Undone.

Put in a small frame.

 Undone.

 Hung around the basement loosely tossed to the side and so, instead finishing my favorite task of folding clothes...
I decided to ramble through my fat quarters and fabric stash cabinet to find something to randomly cut (without measuring) and get this into another~~~third~~ form, for final presentation.

I don't know what possessed me today to do this. Probably, just filled the need to change something AND the need to accomplish something.


designer Little House Needleworks
from the Proverbs, scripture series
stitched by me in ?????
in a third life now. (it's final stage, promise)
A pillowkeep with some calico fabbie on the back. The linen and the floss as called for in the pattern. (I do remember that!)





I think I like it better this way.

And it sits well on my stitching chair.



Therefore, I've accomplished at least one thing today.

And speaking of one thing leading to another, GUESS what this one is??????

I'll pop it out of my mesh bag that I've been carrying with me, wrinkles and all.....



The linen is 28 count Cameo Pink

and the overdyed floss name is near black but right now, Abbie chewed it up and I can't recall it. :o

However, I love pink, all shades and this very muted cameo pink is lovely for the black thread. I'm dreaming of this framed in black. You may not recognize the pattern because the color is different.



Now I'm going on to other random projects today with my free spirit and restless imagination, intermingling with my logical, common sense, practical, part of the brain for balance.

Welcome to my state of lucidity!

    What an adorable project - I love how you turned it from what was to be a framed piece to what is is.

  5. Grats on the finish. It always feels great to accomplish something, even if it's not laundry.

  6. Don't they say "3rd time is a charm"? It sure is in that case.
    Love your new start too.

  15. What a great aimless spirit you have! I'd rather do a little finishing then a little stitching than laundry any day!
