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 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.

Still with the sacred heart motif- I’m working on a big collection of vaguely Catholic art for an upcoming show. I like to have a lot to choose from when I’m arranging the gallery.

Still not sure if this one is finished- it looks like something is missing. But the gold glitter paint was so much fun!

Post Valentine’s Day heart- some driftwood in a parking lot. We’ve been having a lot of rain here, so some of the creeks have been overflowing.

All the hearts that were on my desk. This is exciting because a few hours ago, there was a giant pile of junk on my desk but I cleaned it! and found all these hearts. Now I’m gonna hot glue some stuff to other stuff.

I’ve spent the morning watching Dr. Who and sewing heart hair clips to take over to Green House tonight.

(Friday night is Film Night at Green House. Tonight we are watching Earth Girls Are Easy while having cocktails and getting manicures.)
