One morning while Charlotte had her violin lesson, I sat in a coffee house while the snow swirled outside.
Outside one balmy afternoon, the wind was playing the most lovely tunes on my wind chimes, and I was embroidering boutis (another guild project).
Louie, Charlotte was downstairs practicing her violin and he hates it!
My smocking(sewing) guild started a project several months ago that I have found extremely enjoyable, hand- monogramming onto pillowcases using the satin stitch. The satin stitch takes some practice, but I can say my stitches became more even by the time I had completed the second pillowcase. A good tutorial can be found on NeedlenThread.
