When I made the big pin cushion out of Clara 1876, I felt she needed something else--trim, or lace, or pompoms--but Joann's is gone, and buying trim from a picture online doesn't always result in what you want.
So I texted the Best Daughter Ever (aka BDE) and asked if she would be willing to crochet a trim.
BDE really enjoys doing the fiddliest of things--she makes bobbin lace and tats and knits and crochets lace with the smallest of yarns and threads--and she sent me photos of several different trims and I picked one and within 24 hours she had made the exact amount I needed for Clara.
I am the luckiest of moms.
So here is Clara with her added finery.
I think it's just perfect.
Meanwhile, I've made a little more progress on All That Glitters, which is currently my stitch-in/lecture/Zoom meeting project.
I almost got the second red motif filled in during today's Western Reserve Sampler Guild meeting. This is a delightful group of stitchers, and I always enjoy their meetings. They just had their first retreat, and my fingers are crossed that I can go to the next one in 2027.
But now I think I'm going to take a nap.
