Then, I Danced...

I was able to sit at my needlework stand yesterday, and I completed the goldwork for my Lt. Ed. Corgi Brooch. I'm so tickled with how the first one turned out! 

The body of the Corgi is a bright check purl color called "cider" and the white ruff is a thread in an opal color. It really sparkles in the light, and once the brooch is complete, I'll do a little outdoor video to show you just how much the light bounces around on the purls.

I'm hoping to release the work from the ground fabric and turn it into a brooch when I get home from work late this afternoon. I really can't wait to see it finished now.

Brynwood Needleworks - Corgi Shop Hop Crossbody Bag

 

This one turned out so cute! I couldn't love the design more. I mean...What's cuter than a corgi butt? I'm working on a number of these in different colors, along with the paw print embroidery I shared yesterday. 

 

These are a perfect size (6" wide x 9-1/2" tall) with a zippered front pocket; a top zipper closure; and a back slip pocket. I think this olive cork color, chosen by my client, is a great color, too!

 

I'll be putting this one in the mail today, and then heading back to the studio to work on more. I'll be sharing my completed bags in my Brynwood page on Facebook (HERE), so if you're interested in one, you can send an email or a Facebook private message to place an order. A hot cup of coffee, and then I'm off to the races!
