This is going to be a quick, drive-by post. I’m busy trying to keep up with the tail end of the live photo blog of Coldplay’s performance in Liverpool and the associated thread on coldplaying.com<\/a>. It’s all very thrilling to get things second- and third-hand, you know. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Anyway, here is Nan’s second bookmark. I just squeaked in the finish on this one Thursday night (they arrived on Friday):
\n
\nAgain, this is the March bookmark (no actual design titles were used in the leaflet) from the Leisure Arts leaflet entitled Bookmarks Galore.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, I picked up the piece for my mother again so that I could get it finished. I actually put the last beads into it while I was talking to her on the phone today. It’s Just Nan’s Sparkling Iris and I stitched it on the recommended fabric with the recommended DMC threads:
\n
\nAs usual, the colors are not correct. The scanner interprets them too brightly and washed out the fabric, which is actually a pale purple opalescent linen.<\/p>\n

And here it is in its framed glory:
\n
\nToo bad the front of the frame is actually not square. It makes my stitching (and interfacing) look wonky. \ud83d\ude25
\nUnfortunately, the picture shows neither the lovely purple bling just above each of the tulips nor the beads. Someday, I will take some photography classes or find time to really work hard at taking better photos. Someday…<\/p>\n

Now to find dinner for us and the pups. And maybe do a little stitching just for me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
