As you can see, I haven't made any progress on my frogs at all. I mounted the fabric into my hoop, and then placed it on my second favorite stitching frame...this one is a table mount (with two different size clamps) that I ordered custom from a lovely young woman from Russia in 2022. I wrote about it HERE. In retrospect, I was quite fortunate to receive it, as I placed my order and it was shipped just before relations between our country and theirs tanked. Sadly, she no longer posts her beautiful needlework or stands online anymore.
Yesterday turned out to be another day of rest. I spent a little time in the studio, tossing paper (I thought computers were supposed to eliminate that?), and generally doing a light tidying up. We even had "if-it's" for dinner, because I just didn't feel like cooking a full meal. Mind you, no one suffered as we had some pretty tasty leftovers in the refrigerator. "If-it's" is a term my mum always used. "If it's left over in the fridge, we can have it for dinner." The term has stuck with me all these years, so my family is familiar with it, too.
Therefore, today is going to involve setting up and padding my froggies. I'll likely move into my Lowrey stand for the needlework, and then put it back into my signature hoop to photograph. I'm hoping to get all four set up so I can begin the goldwork over the weekend. We'll have to see how much I can accomplish toward that end. Gosh, is it already Friday again?!!
