It's incredible when you meet an old friend, sit down for a chat and then you notice you're back to the same old business -craft, craft and craft. But it's good and healthy. And very interesting. Soon you know what she's been doing and she knows what you have been doing. Then you crash at the fact that her news are different than yours and you end up writing notes about websites, shops, magazines etc. That's the best gossip ever -where to get new ideas, materials, designs etc. I would not change that to the information about my neighbours private live tough I live quite there that would be called countryside. :)
What I've done lately is a special wedding gift for special persons with special words wrote by me just for them. Also the design is my own. It's made on 14ct Silver Flecked Aida.
It includes special metallic and variegated threads and basic stranded
cotton threads. There's many different kind of pearls included and tons
of love and care. It's 50 hours of work from idea to the finished
project. It is pictured with a background board covered by silk paper.
But it is there just for the package, on the wall it will be hang
without the board behind. Because it's for a marriage it includes many
kind of elements. There's daily cross stitches, but also back stitches,
French knots and some other more rare embroidery stitches which demanded
a lot of patience and skill even from me.
Joy of celebration
will be covered by
greyness and troubles
of everyday life.
Remember then
you promised to share
delight and laughter
but also the tears.
