Mar. 13th, 2010 07:24 pmAnd... off goes the goofy brain, yet again.
I found a copy of Stumpwork Medieval Flora at JoAnns today, and had a 50% off coupon in my pocket. Wondering if I can make enough of a case for period stumpwork and reduce a motif or two or three for some small needlebooks or some such. Possibly for the Baroness. I think the whole A&S champ thing is vaguely goofy, but I still like her.
Freed of the MK Thumb-sucking Artisans Guild, I've been surfing a few others. Both the West Kingdom and Lochac certainly have a better set up. I even cruised the EGA - some of the correspondence courses look nice. Wish I did have somebody to work with in some of this. Grrrrrr. Maybe if I ask nicely, Dame Christian will review things for me. Lord know our own Guild was a useless resource for embroidery. Gotta give those who struck out to form an embroidery Guild that much - it was never going to be of enough emphasis to the larger group to get anywhere. Hell, they intend to make sure nobody DOES get anywhere, but to the table for milk and cookies. Merk.
I'll spare you all the speen-spewing of the day. Oi. What a day. No good came of it. Tomorrow - maybe some homemade creme fraiche. Oh, and I saw a beading magazine with an embroidered ballet slipper on the cover. It was a contest winner, so no instructions, natch. But it's given me the idea to possibly make some decorated ballet slippers for Anneliese for her Easter Basket. Maybe I'll check Meijers or Target tomorrow for slippers.
Whine. Complain. Whinge. Carry on.
There.
(Why is it the sleestak are not nearly as threatening as I remember. Time for bed, maybe?)
