Welcome to my blog!

I'm nearly back at full capacity with the computer. The old computer's motherboard literally broke, so we got most of the pieces for a new one, and mr. floss box put it together. It is, however, taking some time to install all the programs, and all my old files are still on the old hard drive waiting to be copied. That will be another day or two.
Anyways, the little robot embroidery was fun and quick to stitch. I'm a little on hold with more embroidery because I haven't had access to my patterns or pattern-making software. Soon though all will be back to normal. In the meantime I picked up a stalled cross stitch WIP to stitch a bit, and I'm working on more ideas for embroidery designs.
And I'm four days in on my Lyme disease treatment, and the two spots are fading.

I've been delaying posting my latest finish for no good reason. Now it will be delayed more as my computer is on the fritz. It may be the processor fan that died, so I can't even turn it on now. I won't be able to put any type of content on the site till it's fixed.
My other setback is getting Lyme disease! I got bit by a tick a couple weeks ago that apparently infected me. I'm actually not really "sick", just a bit of sore muscles and joints here and there. I got some huge antibiotics to take, so hopefully it will be gone in a few days.
I'm not happy about not being able to put new stuff on the site here, but hopefully things will be back soooon! Till then keep on stitching!

I have been looking for other ideas of what to do with biscornu-style designs other than sew them into biscornus. I have found one thing so far: a zigouigoui. I sewed one of the biscornu designs I stitched a while back into one:

I took another picture of it on the side.

I thought this was a good design to do this with. I may try another one and write my own instructions for them. The ones I used were in French.
It's taken me awhile to get going, but I finally have my ideas for the hand embroidery exhibition worked out (there is still time to sign up!). Now I'm working making the patterns on the computer. I don't know how long they will take to stitch, but I'm leaving lots of time!

Yet another biscornu is completed!

And here are the two halves before being stitched together:

The top picture is a bit truer to the actual colors. I've been super slow starting something new. I wasn't quite sure what to work on - other than the next biscornu, lol. I've already printed out the robots biscornu. Robots are definitely not standard cross stitch material, so it should be fun. I'll be working on a new embroidery project too, but it isn't quite ready to start.

I finished that the other night into a little wall hanging. The fabric is fitting, or so I thought. Now I have hung it up with the other foodie wall-hangings in the kitchen:

I have one more foodie-themed project that maybe ought to be sewn into a wall hanging too. Might as well make a collection of them!

I've fallen off the blogging wagon. I will keep trying lol. So darn lazy sometimes. Well, I do have my cakes stitched now. I got this idea for making a little wall hanging for the kitchen to go with my other embroideries hanging in there the other day. I will get a picture of them all together when this one is ready. I have the perfect fabric to use for the borders for these cakes. I'm hoping to get it all put together today, but I had better get going on it. I'm pondering more food-related projects now, they are just so fun.
