So here I am in Seattle, Wa waiting for my daughter's first baby ...who has opted to take her time entering this world :-) thus giving me more free time than I originally thought that I would have!
Since a trip to Washington State from North Carolina limits what can be carried, my unplanned free time means I did not bring any art to work on!
So a trip to the local Michael's resulted in a supply of felt, embroidery floss and a variety of fun stuff that goes back to my pre-painting days when my kids were very small and time and space were limited!
Yep I did a bunch of sewing back then and it was a substitute for my inability to paint as I wanted. And heck since I have a little granddaughter coming (maybe by this weekend) my daughter has already hung this little embroidered owl on the baby's wall :-)
Once I remembered how to do a blanket stitch among others (it all comes back) then I would up with this little, simple fellow-perfect for a nursery-made simply from cut out felt pieces and hand stitched (I could have used a sewing machine! Just 8" x 10". Will post some more as I work through this-leaving my poor artist husband Steve to hold down the fort in NC!
