Needlepoint finishing

Hello,
Today I worked on the needlepoint case and still have more work to do tomorrow.  It is always surprising how long some tasks take.  I did not get to the christmas ornaments.  However, I am hopeful that they will be done soon.

Tomorrow I am off to the White Elephant Sale.  I have heard about it for years and can't wait.  With a little luck I will have lots of photos of beautiful buttons for you in the afternoon.

Yours,
Mary

Good Morning Everyone,


Here is a photo of Me!  Just thought you would like to see who I am.  





I blocked this great needlepoint after work last night.  It is an original design by a local artist.  It is so cool I want to show you a picture of it. First I want to ask her if that is kosher.   It will soon be made into a pencil case.  

While I was working on it I was listening to Portishead, Sour Times.  I get kinda stuck on a song and listen to it over and over.  I never thought of myself as an Electronica fan, but I guess that I am.  Portishead is kinda spy music/Blade Runner/Jazz Bar all rolled in to one.  It went with the image on the needlepoint.  I mean it was Far Out man.

Here is a photo of Luna, my dogglet.  You can see how excited she is about my late night blogging on saturday a.m.

Have a great Sunday,
Mary
