What have I gotten myself into

 This is one of the books that is inspiring me at the moment.  There isn't enough life to fit all the methods I want to learn, I think God needs to grant me a life extension.  How about you?

 This is my current take along project, a stitch sampler where I experiment with different combinaitons of embroidery  At top right I started a grape arbor in blackwork, but went off track and have had to rip most of it out.  I hope you can enlarge it to look at the details.  I also have one in sage green that I am working on to experiment with emboridery  and beading combinations.  Also trying sild ribbon embroidery on organza ribbon.  I work slow compared to most of the women I admire who are doing this.

This is one I've completed that has a matching partner on red aida cloth.  I need to find boxes that will fit them, like a large square jewelry box with  glass on top for whatever you want to put in it from a photo to a piece of stitching.

I love poppies.  This is a book mark I'm working on , and is on the smallest thread aida I could find.  I have messed with it so much it is permanantly wrinkled and a tad stained, but I love it like a favorite doll.
