A Little More Stitchin'

Gentle Friends, still stitching away and here's a snaperoo...

...I made a change in the Tree/Angel band with the Angel.  I changed up the gown from another shade of green to the blue color, it's GAST "Cornflower" I tried a couple of light blues and really like the way this one looks.  In stitching this piece I figured there was so much green already that another green was unnecessary.  I'm thinking about frogging out the wings as they are really light and melt into the color of the linen....  but I'm going to think about that one.

A Little Friday Post

Gentle Friends, it's been very quiet here by the Bay with lovely cool foggy days and some sunshine... I didn't want to let the week go without another post so here's a super video from Moana...

... the movie of the same name is about a Polynesian Princess who wants more out of life than what she was born to... it's a great little Disney film from 2016 and the music is top notch.  It's out on both DVD and Blur Ray so readily available.  If you've not seen it I would recommend it!!

Have a super weekend!

A Little Foggy

Gentle Friends, it's Summer here by the Bay and for the past few weeks, we've been having our usual marine layer of fog roll in daily.  I went to YouTube and found this great Time Lapse video from a couple of years ago of the City and the glorious fog rolling in ..... enjoy...

... almost every evening I have to click on the heater in the house to take the chill off the rooms.  I really enjoy watching the fog and where we live in Noe Valley we have a great view as it comes in across Twin Peaks.  I love the cool summers !!

A Little Stitchin'

Gentle Friends, still stitching away on AC.... here's a snaperoo..

.... and if you look this piece up online you can see the first change I made... it's the band break, in the original pattern the band is of crowns and I switched it out with the modified rose band from the bottom of the sampler... I've also modified some of the letters as I stitch along making them a little more "sampler" like IMHO....  as with all of Beth's pieces this is a real joy to stitch and will end far too soon!!

A Little Thrifting

Gentle Friends, out thrifting this weekend I found a couple of things...

... I found the vase in a thrift store and it was pretty filthy when I got it but it cleaned up nicely... from the mark on the bottom, I would date this c. 1918 or so.... and dived bowl with sterling base is nicely wheel cut with a wheat motif and I would think it dates c. 1950 or so...
