I've Gone CRAZY with HAND Embroidery

Notice the french knots in process.

Off and on, the past couple of months, I decided to sharpen up my embroidery skills.



Went crazy and ordered over 1,500 embroidery floss skeins.(as though I didn't have enough already.)

Being that those skeins will embellish most of  my  many upcoming future designs, the floss will not sit and collect cobwebs.

Most of these I drew freehand. The above piece is part of the teams' SUNNY project.

Notice the handmade yo-yo sun.

I finally embellished a  few crazy blocks that had been sitting around for a while.

There is a small amount of machine embroidery on a some of the blocks.

Can you see the embroidered watermelon in the photo above?? Yes, that IS a watermelon.LOL 

 I really did freehand dras the star and the tulip below.

 Are you able to see the tiny black beads accenting the red zeroes below?

 This flower below will become the center of a pocket in an upcoming project.

 The flower below will have an appliqued POT. This was my first idea for our SUNNY PROJECT, but then I changed my mind. (a girl can change her mind. I was planning to applique a sun above the flowers.)

 I freehand drew ALL of the flowers, and then did HAND EMBROIDERY. (can't you tell?)

 Beaded tulip below.

 The cat and fish. Such a catch. Will the cat have such luck? 

 Another crazy that I finally finished.

That ole puddy cat had an eye out for my girls. - The cat that wanted some chicken.

A little bit ago, the girls were out for their daily graze, when along came a "wise" ole puddy cat that thought that he/she might try some luck at catching a few larger sized birds. Ah ha.

Well, the girls cautiously ignored that puddy TAT and went about their business retrieving their daily supply of worms/grub.

So after a while, and perhaps after loosing faith, that puddy TAT set his/her eyes on perhaps a rabbit or some other curious interest out in the thickets.

The above photo clearly shows that the girls clearly was not afraid of the TAT/cat.

The moral of the story is: pick on someone who is afraid of you, or worms are more important than fear. LOL

Rhodie is picking fresh grass above.

After the worm/grub findings, the girls bathed, ramshacked my landscaping,

...and then conversed about that awesome partial semi cirle above them.

Hmmmnnn, could that be the moon, or a UFO !!!
