In between going to my grandson's Lacrosse game on Saturday, I've been hand stitching on Blue Squirrel's new home!
BTW....it rained the entire 2 1/2 hours I stood (no sitting!!!) watching Nick play 2 games! But I did get to see him score a goal! Woohoo!!
I decided I did like the pink embroidery thread for the leaf he is holding...so I started some embroidery.
I still have some areas to fill in with the pink feather stitch but I'm happy with the results so far.
Then I decided I wanted to add some French Knots in the grassy area. Little did I remember it takes A LOT of French Knots to fill in an area! HA
So this will be my hand stitching for the next few days or weeks! French Knots!! I should be an expert when I finish this piece!
Yup….pink was the right choice!
ReplyDeleteStanding in the rain for two hours?? You earned some relaxing sit-down time with your embroidery. I like the pink, too. You'll have had your fill of French Knots when done! But what a wonderful piece it's becoming.
ReplyDeleteYou must still have very good eyes to be able to do all this tiny eye straining work! Looks beautiful which is what I expect from you.
ReplyDeleteYou are a hero for standing in the rain for that long! French knots take forever! Mr Blue is going to be gorgeous
ReplyDeleteI saw your last post in my blog roll but got distracted from the computer before I read it. I like the pink stitching. The pink and green compliment each other so well. The french knots on the grasses remind me of a weed we have growing in the pond. The knots are a perfect addition. This is a great piece. MORE hexies? Simply addicting aren't they?

The Blue Squirrel is turning out awesome. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love the whole thing, but especially the grass. You'll definitely be a French knot expert when you're done!
ReplyDeleteThe blue squirrel is all beaded?! Amazing work Robbie!
ReplyDeleteCute! OMG! All of that beading. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteRobbie, Your embroidery and hand work is exquisite! We love all the French knots. The Blue Squirrel is so pretty! You are very talented, and you deserve a big award for standing all that time.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for these great photos ! Blessings to you, from Marina and Daryl Lynn
This will be a masterpiece when done...love the choice of pink and French knots...they are tedious but add so much!. You get "grandma of the year.... standing in the rain
