Sunday Stitching
Most of Sunday afternoon was spent working on the new CQ project. I really need to come up with a name for it, instead of always calling it the "world". For as much time as I spent working on it, there's not a whole lot to show. Between steroids and not breathing well, everything from thought process to execution proceeds like cold molasses.
I added some lazy daisies to the tops of the dk. blue chevron stitches. On the wavy silk, I emphasized the waves with running stitches in a variegated perle cotton the same colors as the background. Then attached a piece of hand dyed rick rack left over from a seascape challenge with friend Marsha. While rummaging through the bead boxes I came across the tiny lavender flowers and thought they would add a little more interest.
The blue satin was begging for something of interest in between the two feathery designs, so I added a glass fish bead. Will probably add bubbles also, either in beads or french knots.
Also good news on Dad's recovery. He is off of oxygen and will be moved to the rehab ward soon.
