I am at work today so no time for the sewing machine. I do always bring some hand work along for those down times but today does not so far seem to be one of those days.
So you might ask how do you have time for hand work at work. That is easy I am a full time EMT and work a 24 hour shift on and then am off for 48 hours. That gives me two full days at home to do other things and one day at work.
I have started a new embroidery project a month or two ago and it is not going really well.
Crab Apple Hill Studio Farmhouse Window Sills I traced off the first design there are four in this pattern using a Sharpie marker fine point and it bleed into the fabric so it left a shadow.
- so that is problem one
- I am to color the design with crayons to shade it and that just doesn't look good to me
So now what do I do my first thought is I will finish the embroider on this one and then some how finish it off as a small hanging. Then start over and make another go at this one I had a chance to play with some water based inks that I am debating about purchasing to work on this project with
Teacher Stamps for special water color inks They have both bottles of inks and markers so I am going to have to decided what is the best bet for this project. or maybe it should go on the back burner and I can finish up one of the other projects. Decision decisions!
