Covering My Bases

Because I'm doing it like breathing these days, here are more images of my stitching in between Jude's classes.
I am having trouble holding a pencil or a glass lately though. I guess my opposing thumb is out of shape.
And then we spent the morning with Sophie. "Oh, Atticus, I found your tennis ball!"
"Here it is!"
"One for you and one for me."
Right here is where I was supposed to yell, "Don't put that in your mouth!" except I pressed the shutter release first. My instincts are all messed up.


Here are a few snaps of a project I just finished . . .
. . . except I can only share peeks now.
Sorry!

    Dear Leslie/Stiffie

    I alone have seen the beauty and intense depth of your recent work. No woman nor artist has ever bestowed a privilege like this on me.

    Anyone interested in looking at pictures of Leslie's "secret projects" should contact me directly. The photo's are $60 bucks each.

    Fondest regards,

    Oh, my! Sophie is growing so quickly!! And don't worry; you have the artist's priorities. No one has ever died from licking a dog's tennis ball. Don't you know? GSD germs are the best! lol

    Now I just have to be patient and wait for you to unveil your art. I can't afford Jack's pricing...

    Those are some peeks! Gorgeous.

    Both projects are stunning and Sophie is so sweet.

    Thank you for sharing this, Leslie. Beauty is one of my favorite ways to start my day.

    Only peeks?! wha---?

    What's going on with your thumb? I hope that clears up right away. This work you're doing is awesome.

    First, those little bitty legwarmers on your little bitty grand-daughter are sooooo adorable! Awwww! I like your pro attitude towards her smelling things, even well loved doggie toys. Twenty years from now she'll be smelling lemons and oranges the same way.

    And your artwork, as usual, is so beautiful, Leslie.

    Wee leggings for a wee sprite!!! I had no idea they made them so tiny!! And A is the best babysitter ever!!! And good job on having enough tennis balls to go around!!! Dirt is our friend. And dog slobbers and goatie kisses!!

    I admire your jumping into Jade's artistry--as it is, I gaze upon my fabric stash daily (as it's in a bin in my bedroom floor) and tell it just a little longer... felt is before fabric and tiny shrines are before all of it....

    Keep warm sista!! And the peeks-don't toy with me like that!!! MORE!!!!

    the stitching of your lovely fabric piece,then the focus of intention on the fine detail of Sophie, and her language arts, that image (so wonderful) of her sniffing the ball, all also stitches of her memory threading--holding time. it really touched me. Opened my heart.

    thanks.
