Back in the groove


Every day I feel a little more myself. I am thinking clearer, feeling stronger and just basically better all around. Class started this week and even though I dread it, it was not the drain it has been in the past. I could think in class. Climbing up the stairs was not the big effort it's been. I am just beginning to realize how debilitated I was and it's shocking! It happened so gradually I didn't realize it was happening till it was completely out of control. Amazing how a little iron can make such a difference in your life!


So I have been busy. Very busy. The new floss shop has taken off gang busters! I have already had six orders and a total of 18 sales! I am so happy. This week I made six more colorways in embroidery floss and then I dyed four pieces of velvet. The velvet is just gorgeous as usual! IF I could just dye velvet all day every day, I would be even happier than I already am!


I also did some more work on the symbolism project. This is fulfilling my need for color in my embroidery.


I will continue to work on the other projects but now I have something to pick up when I want to play with brights!


Finally I have four of my velvet bags ready to list in the shop! I plan on putting them in tonight or tomorrow I am just in love with these little jewels. I want one for myself! Or maybe two or three...
Hope you are all having a wonderful week and here's to a fantastic weekend!
