Just A Teeny Peek...

Brynwood Needleworks - Sneak Peek - Purple Commission

 

What a lovely and productive weekend we had here at the farmhouse. I've nearly finished my painting project; Handsome and I did a little barn cleaning; and some smelly pups got baths. I also had time to stitch.

It's nice that I have enough fabric to practice auditioning stitches and designs for the commission I'm currently working on. I can only share the teeniest of peeks so as not to give away any surprises. Every so often I hand my work over to Handsome to ask what he thinks. He tells me what he likes, and then cheers me on to the next phase. I really value his perspective...in more things than my needlework. I'll share more soon, in snippets, to keep the suspense going until the piece is complete.

If you visited on Sunday, you'll notice the beautiful cross vignette for my verse. The cross was gifted to me along with all the wonderful fabrics and fibers I told you about recently. It usually sits in a special place in my bedroom, but right now it's in a fall display in our living room. I can't tell you how much I love it. The surface is smooth, with hard edges, and the color reminds me of the Gulf of Mexico from our years in Sarasota County. I smile every time I look at it. Thanks again to the friend who sent it to me.

Tag can't wait to chat with you tomorrow. He's got all sorts of things to tell you. I'll be back on Wednesday!
