When last I was involved in a creative pursuit, I was working on the first of these Palmer art pieces to create new zippered pouches. Then The Crud hit and everything was put on hold.
I pulled these out of my embroidery box to review what I'd wanted to embroidery on them, and I'll get back to needle and thread today. I want these finished and in my shop in time for Valentine's Day.
I also have a Shop Hop Crossbody Bag to create for a custom order I received while I was laid up. That will be ready to ship by Monday to my client. It really is time for me to gently return to my needle dancing. I'll just have to pace myself so I don't relapse.
Thanks for all your care and concern for me. I really felt all your good wishes and prayers. I know my return was faster because of you. I missed you too much to stay away longer.
Glad that you are feeling better. The Palmer art pieces are very cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you, dear Danice. I appreciate the good wishes. Doesn't Michelle do wonderful work?

Slow and steady wins the race 😉 A "gentle return" sounds like a good idea, and I have no doubt that a little needle dancing and creativity will lift the spirits greatly!
ReplyDeleteHi Lois:
DeleteI agree completely. Little nap breaks fit right in, too. I stitch a little, rest a little, and smile a lot while I'm stitching.

ReplyDeleteGlad you are back, but don't overdo it.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteI love Michelle's artwork. I hope I can do justice to them with my needlework.
I'm glad to be back, too, and taking it really easy as I continue to get back to 100%. The sunshine sure helps!
Hugs,

Sherry of createology: These Michelle Palmer drawings are so precious. Your embroidery will be the icing on the cake! I absolutely must have a mouse one! Feel better my sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteHi Sherry:
DeleteI love her pieces, and I hope to do them justice with my additions. I have to see if I have a mouse, otherwise, I'll ask her to do a few for me. Better by the day, my dear. Better by the day.

The pouches are going to be over-the-top adorable with Michelle Palmer's illustrations. I would be hard-pressed to choose a favourite I know.
ReplyDeleteTake care of you, and Handsome too.
Hi MA:
DeleteI'm looking forward to some fun finishes with these. I love Michelle's work. The next one is always my favorite. ;-) We're taking good care of each other and being careful to continue to rest. This sure wasn't fun. We don't want to fall back, that's for sure!
Thanks, dear.

So sorry you were sick Donna. I love the cute Palmer illustrations. Continue to get well!
ReplyDeleteHi Sherri:
DeleteThanks so much, dear. It sure wasn't fun! Michelle's work is the best. I hope to enhance her wonderful drawings with a little bit of needlework. Finished bags soon, while we keep feeling better. I'm loving your home touches in your new place, by the way. I'm so happy for your new chapter.
Hugs,
xoxo

A gentle return is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteThose pouches will be stunning.

Hi Shirley:
