Re: the little swamp witch I showed you yesterday. This is what she looks like now! I thought the white was too bright and clean next to all the mosses, so I made her into a Belgian Hare. (In the background the moss I'm working on)

Happy St David's Day! This beautiful piece was made by my friend Ophelia Dos Santos. What a celebration of Wales! #handmade #HandStitching #hand_embroidery #patchwork #StDavidsDay #Wales #inclusion #Diversity #mulitculturalism #handmade
Sunday evening progress on the dishtowel project.
Back on the bus after three days working from home (snow, early teleconferences). Starting with the pear hat fruit picker.
A little more filling in on the acorn cap boy, on this morning's commute bus.
Tonight's needlework, progress on the acorn cap boy, who is my adaptation after the style of the fruit hat girls from "501 Enchanting Embroidery Designs".
Anne of Green Gables reading: frightening herself with imagining ghosts in the spruce woods between her house and her best friend's house, and earnestly trying to welcome the new young minister and his sweet and kind wife, but spoiling a cake by flavoring it with liniment which Marilla had stored in an empty vanilla bottle.
I wonder if anyone has done a shoujo manga of Anne? Her character and stories sound like they would fit. (edit: yes, multiple adaptations to manga and anime)
Anne of Green Gables is reconciled with her best friend Diana's mother by a night of heroic nursing for the youngest child who took sick while the parents were away.
Tonight's reading was an evening variety recital put on by Anne's school which led to a mishap getting Diana in trouble with her visiting great-aunt, repaired by an honest confession and a charming apology from Anne.
Needlework progress is the small flowers by the fruit hat characters' feet.
This sun disc goes to eleven. I guess it's on to the fruit hat fruit pickers, or maybe the little fringes of meadow flowers.
I'm new here! As an introduction, one of my earlier artworks: a small lighted sporophyte moss light. More to follow!
A couple days of commute bus needlework on the tower house. I looked up Moominhouse and discovered that it is blue.
Washed away the Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy (hand-traced rather than laser printed) and hanging up to dry.
Close to done with the embroidered floral border.
Anne of Green Gables reading: "Anne's Confession" (made-up under duress), the Sunday School picnic, and her troubles in school with being teased for being a redhead and unjustly singled out for punished for standing out among the other equally truant students lallygagging in the birch grove.
Jumping ahead to embroider the larger flowers toward the end of the floral border.
In tonight's reading, Anne of Green Gables gets to keep her foster home, but she can't mind Marilla's instructions and keeps getting lost in dramatic daydreams. We learn about Anne's imaginary friends from her lonely past as a child minder.
Having Anne of Green Gables ("Anne with an E!") read to me while I continue with the floral border. Matthew and Marilla decide that it's too cruel to send her away even if they really wanted a boy to help Matthew with the farm chores and somehow the message didn't make it.
The floral border is mostly done. After that the plan is for cute little designs from the same pattern book. The headlamp really helps.
