Well, here they are. Those ZIP things that caused so much trouble, all finished and put in the shop this morning. I suppose if I made lots and lots of these I would become an expert at zips, personally I prefer rouleau loops, complicated yet therepeutic as opposed to complicated and psychosis inducing. I am at a bit of a loss as to what to do next. Yes I do need to finish the hook and eye cloth but it has been so hot here these past few days, sweaty palms and pure silk is not an ideal combination. I do have a small commission to do so that is probably the way I am going to go for a couple of days.






I have also been making more of this........the paper I use to stitch on. There isn't really a specific project in mind here, it's more a case of having some to hand incase the need arises.



After I have completed my commission and the hook and eye cloth I will definitely be doing more of my white/text embroidery. What form it will take and what the finished product will be isn't decided yet, I just have this need to return to me and work that illustrates more closely who I am creatively.

On a totally different subject, I have a job interview next week!!! Yikes, a job interview, a proper, grown up, responsible job, oh dear....I'm scared. It is by no means certain that I will get it, I have been out of the job market for so long I am not even sure I can hold a conversation with a proper adult, (as opposed to a cyber adult). I do know though that I have a lot of studying to do between now and then, reading on the subject, updating myself on changes that have taken place in this sphere of employment, (this is me practicing adult speak for next week), I've got a headache already!!
