Brush off your Shakespeare...

okay I know the actual song is "Brush up your Shakespeare" and for now I'm not needing Shakespeare. What I am needing is to brush off my embroidery needles. I am tackling embroidery again after several (can several mean more than 4?) years. I think the last time I embroidered was when I stitched a gold Celtic knot on the front of a black dress as a Christmas present for my mother-in-law. Been a few years. So I'm working on these ornaments for the 2 exchanges I am involved in. I have crocheted them and felted them and now I think they need a little embroidery on them. These are truly handmade ornaments. When they are completed, I'll take a photo. So for now, I'm brushing off those needles and refreshing my memory on some of my favorite stitches. Keep watching, they'll be done soon.

I can't wait to see them! I never got the knack for embroidery....I could never make it perfect, so it drove me crazy!
