well ... that wasn't much fun
stitching down the doily puff was a bear, lemmetellya
i took a break because this is supposed to be fun
but it wasn't any fun...
no, not at all
anywho...
sempre avanti
i gave the card another look
dandelion puff - check ... little black bird - check
next thing to do is stitch some fluffs*
i knew that i wanted to use purple floss and white floss and tiny purple heart buttons
but i was stuck on just how to go about stitching what was living in my head
so i whined about it to asked Melissa how she would stitch the fluffs...
she said she would stitch samples on a scrap of fabric and see what there was to see
which was just what i didn't want to hear cuz i'm kinda lazy
but she was right...
we both like the one on the left
doesn't look like the fluffs are gonna be any more fun than the puff was
sigh...
*the botanical name is the pappas ... i like fluff better
i think that i will try to link up to Kathy's Slow Sunday Stitching ... here goes
Fun or not, this is going to be great! Once you start seeing the puffs on your piece, I hope you find them more enjoyable. It gives me an idea on using my grandmother's doilies.
ReplyDeleteIt might not be fun but oh how fabulous everything looks. The flower puff doily looming above the wee sweet birdie is impressive and the embroidered fluffs are too. Keep going........=)
ReplyDeleteI like the one on the left, too. All that stitching will be a zen meditation.
ReplyDeleteLook up how to do turkey stitch - perhaps a little bit of that might work for the fluffs.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you are able to make use of MY card to make something so pretty. Oh and Caw Caw (that's my crow agreeing with me, yours is being a jerk and staying silent)!!!
