Smalls

I got two of the smalls for the Edinburgh Etui done yesterday.  I made twisted cording in two sizes to make a tassel and the loop for the scissors fob.

Then I finished up the stitching and added a few stitches to the pin cushion.  I tried Betsy's beading technique and was happy with how it turned out.  My favorite is the plaid side with the thistle charm.

I started the last small, a needle purse.  Wow, I can't believe that I am almost done with this whole thing.  I hope to get the needle purse done today.

I was in cahoots with a friend to sign up for the Embroidery tour.  We thought we had gotten in but there were problems computerwise with the sign up process.  So I'm still waiting to find out if we got in.  I've got my fingers crossed.
The weather is very nice today and a lot of our snow is melting away.  The driveway is nearly clear. One of these days I'll be able to walk outside again.
