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  :)

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.
