konichiwa!

a few days ago i was ready to post something about the weather and the dreaded funk running through pdx...  i mean it was just 58 degress... i had to run up to seattle on sunday. quick day trip. drop off a car. while i was stuck on the bridge between OR and WA, there was no pretty breathtaking view of Mt Hood. instead just this ... i mean that's pretty depressing for june 20th!! but here we are, a day after the official first day of summer and nothing but sun! vitamin d all over the gosh darn place...who doesn't that make happy.














on another note,  after taking a few days off from sewing i'm back to it. busted out quite a bit the other  morning, the other evening, this afternoon. actually, just about finished. 
....although, the more i have a card in my house, staring at me, the more i will constantly find shapes and shadows to stitch!

 i like the way this progressed. i think the second image has a weird aquatic feel to it? not sure why, maybe it's that tiny sliver of greenish thread to the far right bottom corner.
 also, after this card has been mailed and received i promise to post the final version because looking at random stitch shots can be confusing where, how they all come together.
                               






























in other news.. this is another piece i've been working on. naturally, the pilderwasser's bday has passed. so it's late... i'm not worried about that. mail is mail is mail. speaking of mail. if you ever want to receive stitched goodies or images of stitched goodies i suggest making sure i have an address...
