I've been working on two commissioned pieces for Ms. R. and I just finished them. They are both Just Nan designs.....the one on the left is to Barnaby's Bride and the cute little mouse is to Minerva's Mouse. They are so tiny!! The mouse is only about 1 1/2 inches tall. I hope she likes them.....fingers crossed!!!
Now as to what do I do next.....I haven't the foggiest idea. I have some quakers I would like to stitch but I also have a few crochet items I would like to finish. I have some new silks coming from Vikki at HDF so maybe I should wait till they arrive. They are gorgeous!!!! Doesn't it feel wonderful when you finish something and you get to start over fresh on a new piece of linen with some threads that you love. Ahhhh.....the joy of needleworking!!!! Now that brings out a new question for you all. What is your favorite part of starting a new design.....Is it the design itself?......the fibers.....or the new piece of linen.
Blessings as always,
Barbara

Love the finishes Barbara your so quick at things. I think my favourite part is the whole thing, the excitment of knowing the blank piece of material, the picute and the threads will all combine to make something beautiful.
The mouse is just adorable !!!
My favorite part is the design. I'm sure Mrs. R will love your finish!
I love, love, love Barnabee's Bride- it's one of those coveted items on my wish list- you did beautiful work as usual!!

I adore that little mouse, Barbara--his tiny size makes him even more appealing, I think. I'm sure the customer will just love your beautiful finishes :)
Those are both gorgeous - nicely done!! I love that mouse - no idea what I'd ever do with it, but I do love it :)
Lovely finishes! Mouse is sooo cute :)
