now back to our program already in session

   i know it's about time we got back to the stitches. with our recent move, finding the right place for this and that can be time consuming. and the more time consummed, the less time i'm sewing. i did manage to create a little inspiration in my cluttered sewing nook... putting my thread bottles in the window makes me happy..

 speaking of which, this piece is for the MFs...the majority of the stitching updates will be the backside so the front will stay a surprise. 

i can't wait until i'm done...

it's blog, blog. it's big it's heavy it's wood. it's blog. blog. it's better than bad. it's good!

 starting another piece. two actually. trying to figure the layout of one of them. looking at backgrounds. trimming the overlay image down. hmm does this even work? oy! next which part to start stitching... but getting side tracked. i have the most ridiculous song in my head. major lazer feat. nina sky, keep it goin' and it's not so much the whole song, it's the chorus..in case you don't know the... ."ive got the grooves in the truck about six chicks deep and you know cause we rolling to the streets at six". naturally i had to listen to it to get it out of my head. then "ooh what else do i want to listen to?"

 side tracking at its best. it's the computer it lures you in. i typically don't surf around too much. make my iTunes selection and the move back to the drafting table.. every now and then, there are a couple of blogs i have dinged on our computer and i check'em from time to time. 

surprise, what a metamorphosis! .. it's funny how when you know people from a certain time, a town, a group of friends, what have you, that sometimes that can be the context that you always think of them in. 

however, most people are multifaceted. i guess it just takes time to see all sides or takes time for people to show all their sides. i feel like i don't really show all my sides. i hold back. are people worth sharing things with? really?.. the blank stare... the long pause. ... or maybe i'm not comfortable doing that. 

yet?    

           

                                                

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...
