Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind, and dance upon the mountains like a flame!
~W.B. Yeats




Had I the heaven's embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,

The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet.

But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams...

~W.B. Yeats

Evening in the Park Street Lights

If you look closely at the middle light, you can see a slight glisten. I added iridescent filament to give a bit of shine to the lights. Of course it shows much prettier in person. Cameras take a bit of it away...

Queen Eleanor update

Its been quite some time since I posted a picture of the queen. I don't think I had any of her horse done last time I posted her picture. I really want to work on her again...but I've a couple, no, THREE other things that must be done before I can indulge in her. I love the colors, really pretty in person.

wow...

Will you please LOOK at these ladies and their amazing samplers?! I wish I could remember where I found this picture, I should have listed it in the file name so I could give them proper credit. But for now, lets just admire this incredible set of stitchers with their amazing samplers. Have you ever done anything so large? Would you even attempt it? I'm pretty sure I would not...

Another gift

Here's a little something I made for the gift exchange in my stitchery group. You know, if any of you live in the San Jose/San Francisco/Santa Cruz area and would like to join our stitchery group, do send me a message. We meet once a month and just hang out and stitch. I made the group in 2003. Its just a wonderful group of ladies, I'm sure you'd love it!

Valentines Exchange

This is a little something I stitched as an exchange gift for my stitchery group's Valentine party, this past weekend. I blanket stitched the design to a piece of wool felt and then did a little crochet edging. It 'twas the first time I crocheted anything in 20 years. lol Its nice and thick and perfect for needles. I also purchased a pair of red scissors to include with the gift. I love Valentines Day.
