Hello friends.
Lots going on here, but i wanted to pop in and show a recent Sashiko embroidery i made.
I also wanted to say thanks to everyone for the super sweet compliments on my new walnuts ornaments. Sometimes the smallest things can really perk a girl up. I'm still riding high from your sweet words about it. Sadly, my little walnuts shells collection is very limited so i've been running around the city like crazy trying to find more wallnuts with shells but each visit to a different mall ends up in a disappointment. I will keep looking for them in hopes to make more of these walnuts loveliness.
I'll be working away here over the weekend, sewing and scheming for a mini shop update, a christmas swap and also some custom orders. There's definitely lots to do. Hope your weekend is full to the brim with sweetness. Warm cheers to you and yours.
Hi Jacqueline, what beautiful and delicate embroidery! I love all your tiny little stitches. This must take so much skill and patience. I hope you manage to find more walnuts. Hope you're having a wonderful, creative and crafty weekend! Wini xo

Haha, I know exactly what you mean and what it's like to be running around town looking for materials. This embroidery's cute!

Your embroidery is beautiful!

Hello Jacqueline! Very pretty embroidery, you are so talented. I can't believe you can't find walnuts with shells. There isn't any at the grocery store? I think I saw some today at Target in with the Christmas food.
Best wishes for a wonderful week :)

Oh I love the pattern you made. Beautiful! xm

Dearest sweet friends, im also giggling at myself running around the city like a mad woman. It sounds a little ridiculous not to be able to find any walnuts with shells here at the grocery stores. Oh sweet sharri, thanks so much for keeping a look out for me on the walnuts. :) Love to you and yours!
Posted by: Jacqueline | November 23, 2010 at 09:19 AM
gorgeous embroidery. I can tell the stitches were done with such love and skill. Is there anything you can't do?

Hello Jacqueline! Just stopping by to say and to catch up since I've been away from reading blogs. Sigh, my time is in such a demand. Love your stitches! Your walnut ornaments are so cute! I tried making these last year but my problem was never finding walnuts with shells but cracking them so it would give nice half shells. It would crack in all sorts of places looking very violent. Wishing you happy weekend while we in the States celebrate Thanksgiving!

Jacqueline!
I'm sorry it's been so long between visits ... catching up on your cuteness this morning ... beautiful embroidery - there is no end to your talent. I hope you are well and truly over those headaches :(
Thinking of you,
Allison x
