Take a stitch Tuesday

This is my first attempt at the Lock stitch.  Why do my stitches never look like Sharon's at http://pintangle.com/ ?  I do highly value being an individual and rarely do I want to be just like someone else so I guess I should celebrate that my stitches are unique!  Yah that's it!  Yay!  Me!  I learned a new stitch today!

    yes definitely celebrate your unique hand work - that is why we do it after all

    That's the spirit! You are YOU and although you can learn and admire others' work, you should always value your own, too.
    This stitch look especially good on the background fabric you have used.

    I absolutely love the way the stitch follows the curves within your background fabric. When it comes to stitching, crafts and artwork, individuality makes it all the more interesting!

    Looking for Lock Stitch and found your blogpost. Your background makes me curious. Is it Tyvek? I just took a class about unusual backgrounds for embroidery and we tried Tyvek. Looks like it? I have never seen it used before.

I am not a gardener but I do love flowers.  It is so much fun for me to get out my macro lens and spend time photographing flowers up close and personal.  I am linking with http://www.shinethedivinecreativityisaspiritualpractice.com/ and http://macromonday2.blogspot.ca/

Slow Stitching Sunday

  I am on a scroll roll.  This is the second one I started this week.  I love the soft romantic feel of these pieces.  I love working with bright and cheerful colours but occasionally I have to play with a different set of colours.   These scrolls are coming together faster than I thought they would.  That also feels good.   Sometimes I need a project that can be completed quickly.
