It was just too cold to walk outside today (19 degrees). So I went to the Y. It was nice to see my regular walking friends.
I finished up the Heart of Elizabeth. Happy dance time.
I dug around in my stash and found some just plain black silk dupioni for the backing so I can finish-finish it off very soon. I'm really happy with how it turned out. And I'm really happy to have finished it. It was a nice break from Dudley and Home Sweet Home.
Then I got great mail yesterday! The mailman brought me two of the kits that I ordered from Jenny Adin-Christie. (Not the wren - yet.) I'll show you one today and one tomorrow. There are so many pieces to these kits.
They are all nicely labeled too. I think Jenny's mother does a fabulous job putting them together.
There is a 21 page booklet of instructions too. Everything is in a tote bag.
My friend Janet did this one and has it all framed. It is beautiful.
Could I resist starting? Are you kidding? I had to put in a few stitches.
The amaryllis has a tiny petal sticking out of it.
It looks to be white. We'll see.
Have a fun day!

The heart is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had itchy fingers to start something new. :)
Can't wait to see more.

Hello Amy, across the pond again. Please don't give up blogging, I know you've had some unkindness, but there is the rest of us who admire your work. Where did you find the Elizabeth kit. Being in England I would probably have to buy overseas, but that's ok. She totally intrigues me, all the different techniques, what a challenge. Your work is beautiful. I think you might be right with the amaryllis, it looks like it could be white, isn't nature wonderful. Looking forward to hearing from you more.
