Yes, it's the middle of March. Already.
There has been a bit of stitching over the past week:
3 more Dorset Buttons were added to the stash
Although there was a bit more added to flower #2, it's not enough to show. I did, however, add a darker green to the three top leaves in flower #1. I used whip stitch into the back stitch edging, and I think those leaves no longer seem to disappear.
The wrapping cloth piece in progress. Lots of bullion knots, some french knots, and buttonhole stitch has happened. I shaped the tag and buttonhole lace into a cup.
There's a bit more stitching to add to this piece.
a closer look at some of the bullion knot edging. Although not shown in this photo, the lace on the wild fabric pocket has now been edged with buttonhole stitch.
I did play with my gelli plate and made a series of gift tags. Unfortunately, the irridescent paint doesn't really show up in the photos.
I may add stamping to some of the tags.
The red amaryllis finally bloomed! 4 large blossoms on this stalk. Isn't she a beauty?
It certainly brightens up the living-room on grey spring days.
That's my week. I hope yours has been a creative and blessed one.
Thanks for visiting.
