hey there!
Today's post is a bit different. It started as a doodle drawn directly on fabric (white muslin with a small white flower pattern on it) and then handstitched all in black #5 perle cotton. This was all done today (thursday). it's not as detailed as most of my pen doodles but hey, I knew I'd be stitching all those lines!

I'm pretty excited that I took it from just an idea to a completed project in just one day. I am so impatient that I have to be able to do a project from start to finish in one day.

Well, unless it's a big quilt project and then it can take a couple days to piece the top and then another to machine quilt it but that's another story!

Are you the impatient type or the kind that can start and then let it sit for a couple days and come back to finish?

I'd love to know what you think!

Cheers! SB

Now for something completely different!

Hi all!
After doing the Winston sketch this morning I decided that I had put off a project as long as I dared. I needed to make an apron for a swap over on Swapbot. I knew that I wanted to do some kind of embriodery on it so I looked on the web for a sweet design. I found this one at http://mytransfers.blogspot.com/search/label/birds Floresita has been making all kinds of neat old transfers available on the web and I just couldn't resist this! this one is a Laura Wheeler Design.

I'll get a photo of the whole apron before I send it off to it's new home.

I have found that I'm certainly a happier person when I have the chance to do my creative thing. What ever that thing is for the day. :)

And since I was doing this fun creative project that took me longer than an hour and I couldn't snack while I was doing it. I really didn't want to get dirty fingers on the apron before it gets to it new home. I ended up not eating enough of my weight watchers points for the day.

Not eating enough is just as bad as eating too much. I'll have to be careful tomorrow to get the right amount and not over eat..

till tomorrow my friends! Cheers! SB
