Today I was doing the usual in the morning. Around 11 am Ron was out walking. I ran out to meet up with him. He thought I was not going to walk today. Told him that was tomorrow. So, we walked. Then came in the house and got ready for my Brazilian embroidery class with Loretta Holtzburger.
First things first. We had to put a stem stitch on so that we could work with the flower. This is done with colonial knots. I was able to get that much done. I have about 1/4 of it done. I also need to fill in the flower more. Or is it fill out the flower more? Anyway, it needs to be a little fatter. I will work on it. This is done with "B" thread. I can't spell it so will try and find out how to type it next time. Sorry. Once the stem is done, then we worked down towards the leaves. I have 3 sets of stems to do and the flower that goes on it. It's fun to do but time consuming.
We then put the wire on the first butterfly. It didn't come out right in the photo. The top is a shiny fabric, and this is supposed to be blue. I added the wire to the butterfly and have 2 more to do. There is a blue one, yellow one and an orange one. I thought we were doing all the work with floss but we are not. The background is the butterflies. This will be fun. We finished up then. I have to get with Loretta to get another lesson in next week because I won't be able to attend the last class.
Since I didn't take a photo yesterday of the beads I got in, I decided to post them today.
Fall color beads. I think I have a few of them already and will just add to them.
After my class, Patrick and I went out to the casino and then out to eat. We spend a couple of hours at the casino. He was so nice; he took me to a hamburger place. lol - Like I said, I can eat a hamburger every day and not get tired of it.
I even finished my puzzle today.
It turned out fast and easy. lol
At least my day was fun and exciting. I was still able to be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
