Spring Embroidery Hoop

  I wish it were warmer today. For one thing because I love warm weather, but more importantly because today I am forced to sit outside our apartment clubhouse to use the internet. Our modem broke. I was on the internet yesterday and five minutes later it was broken. Oh the joys of technology. No modem means no blogging, no email, no weather forecast, no Netflix, and racking our brains to remember what we did before the internet took over.  Last night we went to Barnes & Noble to hang out, read books and magazines, and use the internet. Now, I need the internet for some school related stuff. So, here I am at an outdoor table, on the clubhouse deck, squinting at the screen and trying to ignore my numb fingers. If it were warmer I'd be thoroughly enjoying this, but today I am enduring. I predict a mug of hot Chai tea is in my very near future.
  So on this lovely but cool Sunday, I must share with y'all the other embroidery hoop I embellished. At first it looked like a big mess, but after some TLC it's much improved.

   It's a very happy and cheerful embroidery hoop.

   Though I claim to hate Spring, I'm working on being thankful and it is exciting watching all the new leaves growing, ducklings hatching, flowers blooming, and the days getting longer.

And after all, with Spring here, Summer can't be far off.

Happy Sunday friends and happy Spring!

Felt Heart Embroidery Hoop

  I made something today. Actually, I made a lot of somethings today. I was felling very inspired. Maybe it was after being surrounded by so much cool stuff last night and now sorting through all my ideas for the next market. The top of our kitchen table isn't even visible there's so much fabric, felt, embroidery floss, Michael's bags, thread, and buttons piled upon it. Brandon's not too pleased with the state of our table, but he puts up with it seeing as how I'm about has happy as a pig in a mud puddle  amongst all the crafty chaos :o)
  I love wreaths, obviously, but something I sort of put in the wreath category but haven't tried much of is embroidery hoop art. I made one on a snow day, but my little inspired self decided to give it another try today.

  I already had a naked embroidery hoop in need of some love. Literally.

   I think I like how my attempt turned out. I'll probably make some more. I have another one I made today but it still needs a lot of work....a lot. I also made some fun little accessories I'll share this week. Maybe once all this inspiration wears off we'll be able to eat at our kitchen table again...
