This week's peek as to what's going on in my embroidery hoop is a snippet
of an original, freehand piece from my own mind's eye.
 I hope to be finished with all the i's dotted and t's crossed this evening.
Cross stitch has given me another outlet to create beyond borders what I want to see on the aida cloth. I'm having quite a lot of fun with it.
What's in your embroidery hoop?

HAPPY STITCHING  :)

I should have known better

This is what happens when you forget to clean your machine
*
*
No wonder my machine wasn't liking me too much the first time I'd taken it out in months.
*
*
My head is hanging and my face is beet red :(
Can you believe the herd of dust bunnies corralled in there?!
*
*
After a small paintbrush, cotton swabs and tweezers.
I solemnly promise to clean my machine on a regular basis.
Happy Machine = Happy Stitching

Another bee in my bonnet

No, I'm not miffed about anything. 
I've just been keeping busy as a bee ;) in the evenings, that's all.

This is a snippet from a chart by Paul Brent entitled "Gossamer Wings".
It's a tiny piece measuring 1" x 1 1/2".
I've been playing with more freehand stitching,
pop back Thursday for a peek or maybe a possible finish.

HAPPY STITCHING :)
