| Sunday, April 18, 2010 |
It's been a very rough couple of weeks due to the persistent pain of an abscessed tooth. Lots of antibiotics, a trip to the hospital and it's still there. I'm really starting to get worried about this. However, to take my mind of it, I've been focusing on embroidering.
Unfortunately, I'm less than pleased with my Day of the Dead Bag. I got a little carried away with the iron, not thinking about temperature vs. plastic and meeellt.. While it's salvageable, it pissed me off, so I haven't worked on it since.
To replace it, I've started a "fashion scarf" for spring and summer. The pink is actual purple and the green is a little bit darker than what is visible here.
In addition to this, I've been working on a Birthday present for a friend of mine. I don't want to give away what it is, but here's the start of the embroidery at least.
I've sent out 3 postcards and plan on working on some more over the upcoming weekend. Once they are received I'll post some pictures of them. They're simple but tailored to the recipient so I hope they are liked.
That's it for now. I hope everyone had a lovely weekend.Labels: Embroidery |
