The week, it's moving very quickly. I'm recovering quite well from a terrific birthday weekend ~ thanks for all the lovely lovely birthday wishes. So far, so good...it was so nice to find some time to get started on my embroidery tale clutches project i've been thinking about. It was also pretty exciting to be productive.
These are what i've been creating lately. Birds and trees. Yep, the first few embroidery tales of the new year. I'm starting to feel the creative juices begin to flow again. I have big plans to get this project put in my shop sometime next month but first hopefully some clutches will materialize soon in the next couple of weeks. I'll post some photos of finished pieces. For now, here's a closeup of the fabrics and the tales....
With a little discipline, i'm also in the process of making my first SoCuteItHurts tutorial "Bias toward the Pretty". More soon.
Here's to another lovely merry happy weekend {early weekend wishes}. Love to you and yours!
ooh! love it! and looking forward to the tutorial!

Merry happy weekend to you too. Thank so so much for your lovely comment over at my blog. I'm new to Etsy so I'm really appreciating all the love I have been receiving from such talent people, such as yourself. Your comment about my art work was most appreciated, and I'm so happy your loving the cuteness in my work. Oh, and I made another sale on Etsy the other day, which made me very happy :-)
Thank you, much love, Charlene xox
