Cut Through

Fooling around with cutwork
attracted a crowd of terrestrials
and a gazillion seed stitches.

Buttonhole stitch worked it's way around holes of machine embroidery.

One stood out from the crowd.
I think he fancies himself.

Hands and toes and heads meeting in the crowd.

Stitched years ago
Looking it at today with older eyes
I think I have an idea coming on!

  12. Glad you like the stitching! Some people call me the queen of embellishment...I suppose because I never know when to stop!
