Another white piece is finished...I decided to put an edge on this one as when you actually handle it there is an awareness of it's delicacy, probably because there isn't as much dense embroidery. Not everything requires dense embroidery, some things fit the phrase ''less is more''. To me this piece says infant cap, section of fine gown, clothing fragment. My other pieces are also meant to reference that and for me they do. This is just that memory, that reference in a different form. I have two more pieces almost finished. One will have an edge, the other won't. Since I have dropped the frequency of my blog posts embroidery is happening more and at an easier pace. I also have more thinking time but somehow less to say. Life is definitely not as hectic. I have been out today, just buying little things, scones, meat and a little fruit. When I was blogging daily that would have happened in a much more frantic way, today it was good to be leisurely...
I have a treat for you too, here is Lydia, my little darling, han't she grown? and isn't she just beautiful!!

So glad life is less frantic for you, I think that will allow you to flourish some more and so I look forward to what you will start to produce with your extra thinking time.
Love the photo, makes you want to give her a big hug :)
Lydia is a little sweet heart! :))))) Ah, little girls. :)))))
Love your white pieces, too, of course! :)
Oh, Lydia!
There is much to be said for winding back on the busyness - I'm glad it's working so well for you!
Lydia is just beautiful! The clock is ticking down for my daughter Tammi. Just 6 more weeks and I'll be able to see my brand new granddaughter Olivia. I can't wait to hold her in my arms! Your white pieces are lovely... as always!
;~) Debi
What a sweet little girl!!! Lydia is adorable. Sounds like things are coming along nicely for you. All is good here, just not very much stitching.
Be careful otherwise you might join the blog-strike (hahaha)
Lydia is cute with her little cap.
Edges - you answered my unspoken question!
Lydia is a precious adorable sweetie!
She looks a cheerful little soul.
The edges are beautiful, can see what you mean about infant caps
those ruffled edges---ooh, aah...just love ruffles. Lydia is a precious little happy girl. thanks for sharing.
what a great picture of Lydia:-)
and that white piece........
The piece says pocket to me, somewhere for a little girl to keep very special things, flower heads, beads, dolls clothes, little bits of tiny crockery from a tea set, probably just the lid to the tea pot though, that is after all very important.
Of course it would get grubby and her Mummy would sigh and wonder what on earth she was thinking of letting her little darling wear something so precious on a wednesday afternoon, and IN THE GARDEN! Imagine the soaking it will take to get it clean again. But oh she did look so very very adorable talking to her self whilst digging up the garden in her best dress.
How adorable. both Lydia and your edges.
A beautiful little girl, indeed!
Lydia is beautiful. Is she as creative as her Momma? I really like the way you have done the edges on your fragment. :)
Lydia is indeed beautiful - just like your embroidery!!
