I feel like I'm in the eye of of the end-of-year tornado. Mostly caught up at work. We're managing to stay just barely on top of things, but that will do for the moment. Yesterday was the first day I didn't work past the point of what I had to give, and we got home at a decent hour. I've been managing to still take Sundays off, which have been devoted to school work. Robert hasn't been so lucky. He's working today.
Next week we meet the other side of the storm. Teetering piles of things to do at work. I also have PT twice, a dentist appointment, a doctor's appointment, a get together with my poetry friends, a holiday party, and a special concert Robert and I are traveling to St. Paul to see. Mostly good things. But today it's like my brain and body know about what's to come. Though I didn't finish as strongly as I hoped, school is done. It's my first Sunday with nothing on the schedule. I have decided to hunker down and start a new embroidery project.
I just wrapped up this piece, which feels like a meadow reprieve from the gray and cold of December.
I like to include progress pics, but there aren't that many for this piece. It came together quickly and was easy to get lost in.
You do beautiful work. Do you have it all mapped out when you start, or do you fill in as you go.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on the piece. Some are mapped out. Some are not. This one was mapped out, but I changed a few things along the way.
DeleteDecember is such a crazy month. I love your piece.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
