La!

Ok - I actually got some spark of creativity burning this afternoon, and I just tidied up the results! My Mother's birthday is coming up, and I thought that I would paint her a silk scarf. Rather than ordering a long one, I thought I would connect 5 hankerchiefs (which I already have) with beads to make one long piece. Her favorite color is red, so I started sketching out ideas, and just couldn't wait to play with the main motif, so I made a postcard of it!

I don't often use fusibles, so I tried some again (not WU though...) and had decent success. I *know* that the fabric is going to pull up in some places though... hopefully it will make it through the mail first!

Did I mention that I am #*$#($ tired of hot flashes? It just isn't warm here yet, and I should NOT be sweating for hours on end. Stupid hormones. My next ultrasound is on Sat at 8 AM, and Kevin is not thrilled, as that is his birthday, and he wanted to sleep in before his birthday breakfast. Oh well... I'm going to break in the new waffle iron after the appointment, provided it isn't terrible news and I'm not too busy panicking about how we'll afford to use injectible fertility drugs next month... I think that is why I've been doing so much stocking of my stash lately - I think I know that I'm not going to be able to shop again for a LONG time...

Still no progress on posting pictures. Wish I could figure this out so you could all decide that I'm a hack and stop wasting your time reading my blog... ;)
