There are several unfinished things hanging around here now. First there is yesterdays piece, there is toe wrap two and there is this. I had planned to finish the two fragments before I go away but I doubt that will happen now. I did get all the fastenings put on the back of my third hook and eye piece last night, they now need to be damp stretched which will take me up to tomorrow . The lining will hopefully go in tomorrow night so I should be sorted by thursday, a day to spare, phew. As for today, well if I get the lining ready to go in, stretch the backs, do my ironing, then I may, just may get yesterdays piece finished tonight ready for your perusal tomorrow....They have forecast gloom, grey and rain for wednesday though so the images won't be easy...so many things to think about. Oh and I have to dye my hair too, my roots are shocking!!
I had a lovely suprise in the post today which distracted me from my ''to do'' list...not complaining though.
Gina sent me the most beautiful little tatted flowers and the cutest, tiny pastel coloured hooks and eyes I have ever seen. I doubt you will see them in my work, they are far too precious, they will live in my ''special'' glass treasure cabinet. If the sun comes back anytime in the next week or so I must share them all with you. Trust me, you will be green with envy!!

Hey, cool it! Slow down, I'm sure you'll get to everything!
It will all eventually get completed. :) I love watching the progress and seeing the completed items. So pretty.
looks like you're making good progress. do you carry stitching with you when you travel?
Won't be long and you'l have a string of finished pieces
your fragments are really lovely. I checked out your etsy store. Lots of beautiful things.
Beautiful work, Karen. Absolutely stunning. Tomorrow's rain arrived here today. Can't complain, though - we've had lots of beautiful sunny days lately.

There's just something about white on white stitching that is so striking. Your work is beautiful as usual! blessings, marlene
I really love your cutwork. I've never done cutwork before and am now eager to try it. I can see little faces peeking through cutwork windows on some of my fabric book pages. Ah, see, now my mind is off on some new adventure containing mushroom fairy houses with cutwork windows. Blessings to you.
Don't you wish that the horrible 'to do' list would just disappear into thin air? At least the one with all the awful to-do's - NOT the one with the creative goodies!!
Karen, I can't stand it - I have to ask, What is a toe wrap??
Your work is beautiful, even unfinished.

Get back to your roots baby! I love the sound of the pastel hooks and eyes. Hope it all comes together with nice sunny day so you can show it all off. x
