Then I cleaned my kitchen window.
Then I lost all motivation and returned to my embroidery! (don't think I will ever be named domestic goddess of the year) I have started a new cloth for the exhibition in April (more on that another day) but I am also conscious that if I want to make a success of etsy I need to keep going on a smaller scale with things for there.
These are going to be small embroidered pieces for the shop. I call them embroidered scraps. The lace pieces you can see in the work are 'scraps' of vintage cloth. Allthough they can go in a frame I also like to think that someone would use these little compositions in their own work, in part of a patchwork perhaps, or appliqued onto the surface of their own embroidery.
Also check out my link list, I have added a few more great blogs.
A happy Valentines Day to you all.xxx

Domestic un-goddesses unite! There are just too many fine things to do instead of housework. I've always wanted a self cleaning house (Like a self cleaning oven, you turn on the heat and it just does it, or with water - I'm not picky)
I absolutely held my breath when I realized that the tiny little thing in the second photo bacame the lovely third! Very fine.
I love the shop and can't wait to see the exhibition tomorrow. You know what my thoughts are an domesticity are, one word, why? Also looking forward to payday so I can buy something
My mother has given me a very good piece of advice concerning domestic duties: you need to follow your calling. Only take the vacuum cleaner to work when the dust in the corners is calling you to do so. Same goes with windows. And two windows on one day is more than enough;)
never mind the housework! understand your mother is a domestic goddess anyway!ps love the work
Come to think of it, my dust has never spoken to me, only string things speak to me besides people and cats. Which probably explains my study.
Karen thanks for those links. How did they find my house for the picture, and all that lovely yarn. There are a couple of sellers that we don't see here.
