a day in the sun well spent

for my labor day, the mister sadly had to work so i took advantage of the alone time and the amazing weather and went to meek park right outside our door step to sit in the sun, do some needle work and listen to some tunes. Here is what i was working on... but if you wanna see some superb work check out becky's blog, she did an amazing owl!!!!!


the mister can be stubborn sometimes so this little guy is not going in the shop as i had planned, i guess i made the misters DREAM bike so this one is staying right here in our little casa along with these other two. the blue bike in the gold frame was a bike the mister used to have but some horribly mean person stole it. the other is of mary when she had a wald basket on her.


i am not sure how i want to sell them... here is where you lovlies come in...do i just make them however i fancy and put them up in my shop or are they custom made? i would love to know what you think!


oh and i thought i would throw this goofy picture of me because i really love my new earrings!

    @ rio: i hope you start up again, would love to see what you make! cheers to good weather!

    @ jude: thanks sweetie!
    @ amber blue bird: you can do it i know you can! super easy. if you know how to sew that is half the battle!

    @ watkins: yes kinda art noveau and have a little tarnish to them to make them look worn!
    i hate when people steel, so WRONG!! what is wrong with people!...that sounds horrible about dad, track bikes are not cheap!

    i hope to make more soon and put in the shop!

  10. i love your earring too :)
    so my vote is for custom made as an option and others just as you fancy. i guess that's more of a compromise, huh.
    you had such a great relaxing labor day weekend...i'm jealous!

  19. i love your wall of framed pictures. I love your needlework. I love your new earrings. yeah you're pretty hot stuff. I think you should just make them however you please and then put them in the shop but you could offer custom made needlework as an alternative.
