Your new hobby sounds like it has you filled with brand new ideas :-)Bees on slippers and spiders on hats sounds wonderful! And your new dress form... OOh la la - wait until I tell Kate :-)
Sounds like fun! I'd never heard of raised embroidery before. I have a framed work of embroidery (the regular kind), hanging on my wall, that my mother made when she was a girl. It was required learning at school for young ladies in those days. I hope you enjoy your new hobby.
Dear Deb, You are right! Felting has opened a whole new world and has re-ignited my love of handcrafting. The dress form is a dream come trues too! I have always wanted one. I have been tracking the shipment too. On time for the 13th! I shall welcome her into my home and my life. I see many jackets and skirts being created. Hugs, Sherry
Dear Lisa, I will see if Tim is interested in "needle in the wool" for a card. I thought it would be an interesting photograph when I saw my needle waiting for me after I had left my sewing to answer the telephone. I am gathering my threads and my needles. It has been years since I embroidered. I am looking forward to creating all sorts of bugs! Sherry
Dear Wendy, My mother was a painter with thread. She did all sorts of fantastic embroidery. I have many of her pieces. I did the crewel work and she the fine threads. Neither of us ever did the raised or stumpwork. It is fantastic. I treasure my mother's work too. It is nice you have your mother's work framed. My mother learned embroidery from the nuns at her grade school. I have one of her samplers. I am having lots of fun learning a new technique! It is exciting to know I am never too old (or too tired) to learn. I may need to make a sampler of the different stiches. I actually am looking forward to Winter this year so I have time to craft.

Dear Cheryl, I would love to make bees for my slippers! I see dragonflies for my shoulders and spiders for my hats and butterflies floating on my purses. I love the way this style of embroidery is 3d. The wings are made with fine wire and covered in metalic threads. I do think once I learn to do bees I will be able to do all the winged insects. I will be sure and share my bees! You love them as much as I do. This winter, when it is too cold to play with real bees I will play with threads and beads and make bees. We will have fun.

Dear Chris, My feet have been so happy ever since they wiggled into these warm slippers. I had so mucj fun making them too. They cost me $1.oo a too! My daughter calls my thrift store sweaters made into hats and bags and slippers, "Up cycling." I love it! Sherry

I absolutely love that first photo Sherry. YOu could surely sell that one. It conjurs up so many different feelings for me.
Can't wait to see you new needle work.
