Wall of embroidery hoops. I am putting some of these in a group show at the end of June. Apparently I REALLY like hearts and the color blue.

Working on a painting, for the first time in ages. I’ll get a better picture of it after it dries.

Embroidery doodle. I found a box of old embroideries I’d never done anything with and I am rehooping them. I have this idea of a wall entirely covered in embroideries and appliques in hoops.

I haven’t worked on any textiles in weeks! Here’s one I just started. I’ve been doodling teeth for a few days.

I haven’t posted recently because I’m in the boring beginning stages of a lot of projects. Here’s a few phone pictures from the last week. Clockwise from left- sketch for the next musician embroidery hoop, stitches on a big window screen, a tiny hoop that isn’t quite finished and my new (thrifted!) sketchbook.

In my family, we wake each other up by jumping on the bed and singing the first verse of Tangled Up In Blues, as loudly and as off key as possible.

The works in progress wall is, well, progressing. There are a couple pieces not shown that had glue drying. I’ll post photos of individual pieces as I finish them/decide I don’t want them in the show.
