Online 34 - the Sampler which will look very victorian and lovely on cream feeds@yuku.com (Chatelaine) http://chatelainedesigns.yuku.com/topic/9898 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 21:44:29 GMT http://chatelainedesigns.yuku.com/topic/9884/t/Am-back-from-the-Seaside-with-a-few-pictures-here-.html
I am back from the Seaside -- wow ! We had all kinds of weather in these only 4 days - from "bathsuit at the beach" to "sweater and rainhood" all was possible.
From warm to ici cold winds - I was surprised....
It was such a nice stay and I got some rest - and some new ideas :-))

Today I will sort my mailbox and answer what is "in" there - and then off to make some sketches of what I have seen and may use later....

here is a preview pic of the Workshop 04 - this time with the topic of
EYELETS - Algerian, Diamond - dense and loose, regular and irregular...

The finished embroidery will look like a piece of lace...

( and , shhh !!! from menopause... yuck !)
I thought I treat you with a SUMMER FREEBIE...

I like it on the black ( at the moment) but it has much appeal on clear white - or on "natural" linen...
I will upload some pictures soon on a matching background .

with her the basic design is complete - now I will work on the frames and the flower fillings for those, who do not like to stitch "people"....

I am working slowly and trying not to do too much, taking a rest every now and then.

as of this afternoon I am back from Hospital.

To make it short : I had a TIA - ( a small stroke) and was on intenive care for 24 hours .
There are no signs left, but it was a huge and loud warning. I will have to see doctors and neurologists to find out WHY and WHAT to prevent another one.

I won't lament here, but I was ( and am !) horrified as one can be.

I will be back to a normal working schedule as of Tuesday again, slowly keeping up... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Chatelaine) http://chatelainedesigns.yuku.com/topic/9561 Sun, 31 May 2009 20:57:29 GMT
