Embroidery and Felt For the Snow of 2014!

Yes...my fair city is under the large and exciting warning of potential snow by in the morning.  Just reenacted the normal pre-snow ritual...

1.  get to store immediately

2.  purchase bread, eggs, milk, rotel, velveeta, corn chips, 

3.  make chili (always have these ingredients on hand from January 1st - March 31st

4.  continually check in on the weather channel 

5.  get up numerous times to check if snowflakes are following

Once said snow has blanketed the ground with approximately 1/2" to 1" of white icey goodness, prepare all said items in the pre-snow ritual.  

Along with this homey practice...I ensure that I have plenty of crafty goodness to occupy my hours of snow gazing from my window.  Yesterday I was organizing my projects and I finished one of them.  The above embroidery was to be a project for tomorrow, but, I couldn't put it down until it was finished.  Now, tomorrow will be filled with full on creativity.  A project that has not even reached the dicey surfaces of my brain.  This afternoon, I went to my studio...grabbed a pile of fabric, thread and trim...and tomorrow will be filled with raw projects that evolve as I feel.  

Often, I like to gather...contemplate....somewhat lay out the end result...but, not tomorrow.  It is full on stitch by the seat of my hopeful snowey pants!
