Piles of Paperwork...

I thought computers were supposed to minimize paperwork? Doesn't seem to work that way around here. See a great pattern? Print it! A little needlework inspiration? Print it! A remodeling idea? Print it! 

I've got stacks of paper all over my studio rooms, and it's time to declutter it. That's part of what I'll be doing today. I'm taking these projects in two-hour bites. I set a timer, and when it alarms, I stop and go to something else. Remember "eating the elephant"? Small bites. It can be done.

Once I put in my two hours, I can reward myself with something fun. I think I'll decide what my next project is going to be and pull all the supplies together. No guilt here. I've earned it! 

Mockingbird Ornament...

My mockingbird ornament is complete! Rather than add a tassel or nest under this bird, I added three silver beads to weight the bottom of the ornament. 

Now, my new mockingbird hangs next to the blue tit ornament from my first bird class with Clara Warschauer. I think her next bird may be a blue jay, but I'm thinking about a different one that I may tackle yet this summer. I'll draw up a few ideas while I mull it over.

If you're on Instagram, you can click HERE to go to my Brynwood Needleworks page and see the video I shot showing my hummingbird among the hollyhocks. A little bee even stopped to say hello. 

On to the next thing. Your guess is as good as mine right now. I'll be sitting down to peruse my choices.  We'll see together soon.
