This was supposed to be my blog entry for Friday, but I changed it, so I will let you in on one project I have been working on. If you remember the famous Serta commercial about "counting sheep", that's where I get my inspiration.....
Only where the sheep are supposed to help you sleep, my sheep actually keep me awake......my littlest sheep the most.......While laying awake worrying about my little sheep, I spend time trying to think of things to make......trying to not think of bad things, or fret, although, that is what I am really doing. My sheep insists on greener grass on the other side of the fence. I am constantly trying to reign him in------while letting him go-----does that make any sense?
He is old enough to seek new fields on the other side of the fence, but I don't particularly like the grass he is seeking........anyway, enough of the mom worry stuff-----here is my inspiration:
Sometimes I think it would be better if I didn't see him in the other pastures. Sometimes I think it would be better if I saw where he was all the time......those darn wolves scare me every time..........
This piece fought with me the whole time, too. I managed the embroidery all right, but when I wanted to make a simple pouch out of it......argh!!!! Sewing isn't my strong point, and although I finished it, I wasn't happy enough with it to try to sell it. Thus, I abandoned using it as a tutorial for Friday. Bummer! Here it is finished:
Anyway, I am off to new projects! Keep sewing, embroidering, softie making, drawing, painting, sculpting, reading, cleaning, cooking, baking, singing, dancing, dog walking, cat napping, whatever it is you do...or, like me--all of the above----j/k.!
