Good Morning Friends & Folk!
Happy Friday to us all...
a glorious day for our neck of the woods....warm temps, slight breeze.
actual MAY WEATHER!!
It wasn't bright enough to stitch
when I woke this morning ~
{{ but I had a little help from my little owl lamp... }}
many more stitches to go on this,
my 'Mary Black's Epitaph' sampler ~
I have the rest of the wording to stitch, then on to motifs and date...
then finally the border will be worked!
you may remember,
this was a design that has been in my computer for a few years ~
and was never fully charted...so I am winging it as I stitch it now,
~ just adding things from my imagination.
{something I love to do }
using some of my favorite fonts for the lettering ~
and making up more as I go.
the sun was coming up as I began taking photos...
I love the soft morning light on my wood floors
here in this old farmhouse.
a favorite pair of chartreuse Bohin scissors ~ purchased at one of my favorite LNS:
In Stitches Needlework in Alexandria VA
and a favorite fob from
Victoria Gable at www.stitchnbutton.etsy.com
{ don't know what I love more about this one, the amethyst-colored gems,
the bone crescent moon or the dangly little broom at the end!}
sun is up!
on with the day...
chores to do, then back to my stitching chair.
what are your plans for this beautiful day?
Blessings from the Farm
~
Lori
what is LNS?

DeleteI love visiting In Stitches when I visit my daughter in Alexandria! It's a great shop and the folks there are always so friendly & helpful! Your design is really coming along, Lori!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a fabulous stitch Lori!! Can't wait to see more. I, too, love the early morning light...but, usually no enough to be a truly early riser LOL. Cold, rainy, fand glum here in Nod. The spring warm up they promised sort of fell apart somewhere over the plains. ~Robin~
