Handstitching and Cooking

Hand stitching and cooking sounds like an odd combination. But both require an eye for color and texture and a sense of adventure. I love both. I recently joined the Stitchin'fingers ning social group. I want to get more exposure to different types of stitch work and to challenge myself by participating in some of the online do, show and tell group activities. Besides what is a day without stitching and who can go without eating? No one I dare say.

My newest blog finds that I will follow for awhile are food related. I love Recipe Girl. I made the Mexican Turkey Stew and it was delish! Made it all the much easier to go on and keep working on the fabric bracelet cuffs I have been doing. I have been working quite diligently to get out this order of ten cuffs. I have finished and am ready to mail them off tomorrow.



More pics will be coming. I love doing the needlesculpted faces. They remind me of Easter Island, Stonehenge and all those mayan giant heads full of mystic power.

I simply love that sculpted face. It does remind me of Easter Island as well. But...do you remember those dolls that people use to make out of dried apples? Their faces looked similar to the hand-sculpted faces.

You know, I still have the little stuffed Goldfinch that I bought from you a couple of years ago. She still sits pretty on my dining room hutch.
