Back To The Roses...

 
This was all the progress I made yesterday during the day,  as we spent most of the day either traveling to the clinic about an hour away or traveling back home. In the meantime, I stitched when they weren't escorting me back and forth as Handsome was undergoing his procedure.

My fair Swede spent many years photographing boats on the water - usually without adequate sun protection, and he's paying for it now. His six month scheduled dermatology appointments were increased to every four months, and every time they find a spot or barnacle (as we call them) that needs to be removed. Yesterday it was an extensive area on his head, and it required a "mose procedure". Don't ask. I don't know anything more than that it took about three hours in the doctor's chair.

I tried my hardest to concentrate on my roses, but this was as far as I got before it was time to get him back home. Once back, I got him comfortable and managed to do a bit more stitching after dinner. I'm planning to do a lot more today so that I can complete this project, too. I can't wait to share what's next!

I'll see what I can get done today, and share it tomorrow. Have a great day!

Embroidered Wedding Roses...

Brynwood Needleworks - Red & White Rose Embroideries
 
I completed the embroidery I started over the weekend. I chose the colors of roses that I carried when I married Handsome for this one. I think this one is my favorite of all I've done. It's definitely a favorite among the Facebook friends who've seen it. 
 
When I shared it on my personal and Brynwood's Facebook pages, one of my friends said she loved it because she and her husband always exchanged red and white roses. Red for passion, and white for truth. I really love that, but never thought of the language of flowers when I chose what I wanted for my wedding bouquet. How appropriate for a wedding, though, don't you think?
 
Brynwood Needleworks - Auditioning A Frame Option

I'm not sure if this one will be listed for sale, or if I'll keep it myself. I know I'll do more in this color combination for Possibles Bags, and perhaps in other applications. 

I'm toying with the idea of framing this one, so I grabbed a small shadow box frame and set it up to try to visualize this treatment. Maybe an oval frame would be better? I haven't cut my linen yet, so I haven't committed to doing this. I'll think on it a while.

I started a paint project in the garage yesterday. I'm going to continue that today, and I'll share it all when I finish. I have taken "before" images, so you'll be able to see where I began, and how it ends. More on that later. 

Time for coffee, and a few morning chores, and then off to the garage. See you tomorrow!
