\nIt’s so dark in the afternoons and evenings, now that we’re back to winter time. Takes some getting used to. Plus it’s been cloudy, so I feel like it barely gets light even in the middle of the day. And it’s only going to get darker, and it’ll be three months before it gets lighter than this. Maybe we’ll have a bright, snowy winter.<\/p>\n

Anyway, today being a Sunday and me having no work to do, I spent all the best daylight hours embroidering.<\/p>\n

The swirly thing<\/a> on fabric that Adrian painted got a few more swirls and feels done now. Its sibling that I painted myself is still waiting for me.<\/p>\n

The pieces of patterned fabric gave me so many ideas that I ended up making four of them. I finished both the embellished one<\/a> and the one with tentacles<\/a> that Adrian asked for, as you can see in the photo, and two more where I had previously started exploring other ideas.<\/p>\n

The patterned fabric I actually came up with a project for, which I’m really pleased about. I’d much rather use the embroidery than put it away in storage. I’ll let them rest for a week or two, then see if I want to add anything more, and if not, start assembling them into a fabric box.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
