In my part of the world we say you are a fool if your passion for a pursuit overcomes all practical sense. I am a stitching fool, and I stitch foolishness.

almost . . .

Here is Pocket for Posies, nestled in its carrier:


And an inside view:


I need a snap to hold it shut, which will require a trip to a fabric store since I want to get one of the clear plastic ones. However, for all intents and purposes, I'm calling it done.

There are things I would do differently if I were going to do it again--like maybe put skirtex in the bottom as well as on the sides to give it a little more body--but overall, I'm pleased. I did find a thimble in the stash that would work, with some persuasion.

Today is organization day--I need to put away the instructions and leftover threads from several completed projects, and I have the print-outs from some of the online classes I'm taking to put in their notebooks, and I need to do a little bit of housekeeping.  I think I may start on the side piece for Fair Maiden later.

Or I could start on the side piece for Fair Maiden now and do the other stuff later.

  2. It looks fabulous Ann! I'm headed to JoAnn's now; wish I could pick up that snap for you. I would stitch - the clean-up will still be there later!
