I've had a lovely extra-long weekend, despite the weather. I managed to get most of the grocery shopping done Friday morning, braving the storm that left our back patio looking like this when I woke up:
By afternoon, our street looked like this--
It snowed fairly steadily all day Friday and most of Saturday; we finally got a break Sunday, then today was sunny and cold.
All that white stuff made it the perfect weekend to spend time in the studio. I got my second small Walk in the Woods piece quilted, embroidered (machine and hand), and bound. I am really happy with how it turned out! I learned a number of lessons- or, better yet, had some things that I'd 'known' before from all my reading reinforced with this 'doing.'
While working on the last bits of embroidery, I started thinking about the next Tangled Textiles piece, due in January. The theme is 'Blue'- a word that I chose because it can be interpreted as a simple color study, or by referencing one of the many expressions or meanings the word has. I'm leaning towards one of the expressions, but who knows, that could change. As I sorted my embroidery floss after finishing Walk in the Woods 2, what color am I most lacking in?
The color is lousy in the photo, and I can't seem to get it right with PSE- but it was pretty obvious to me that I need lots more blues in this stash!

Seeing all that snow makes me feel brrrrrr! And oh yes there does seem to be that wonderful calming clour of blue missing from your embroidery stash.
So much snow already!
And yes, you sure need some blues in your embroidery floss collection!
Wow, all that snow might actually make you blue with cold. I'm afraid I have lots of blue, in fact toooo much. Obviously I need to use more!
