My last post

For over a month now, I have given all my energies just to stay sane and alive. There are things that demand my energy right now.I may one day again have a blog but this one will deactivate in 24 hours. I appreciate all the support I've had from friends and the ability to share my passion of stitching. Right now, I have no time to design or stitch. One day maybe when this is over I will be able to. If I start another blog in the future it will be a private blog. My dream of designing is haulted unfortunately.


I cannot emphasize how much the readers here have meant to me and I put alot of thought and energy into this blog. For security reasons it must shut down. I will again get back to stitching but right now my energies are going to be directed into basic necessities. I admire all of your work and enjoyed reading blogs even if I couldn't comment as much as I could.

I'm still on facebook and also on Twitter. But only God knows what the future will be.
Take care and I'll never forget each and every one of you. It was a part of my journey that has to end.
I need much rest now and stitching again will be a luxury. And I know I will one day.This is just the end of a chapter in my life.

Yours thankfully,
Jennifer

Twisted Tuesday

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to

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.

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!
