I am starting to feel like I am suffering from a split personality. Lately I have been working on an upcoming conference for the Ontario Network of Needleworkers in May. Check out this collection of Guilds if you have never heard of us. (<a href="http://onnguilds.ca/">http://onnguilds.ca/</a>) I have also been working on my 2012 Bead Journal Project for January. As you can see there is a lot of embroidery included as well. This little gem measures 5x7. I decided to work with a theme for this 12 month project - "<strong><span style="color: #38761d;">Dreams</span></strong>" and each will have an association with this. The January introductory piece is called "<u>Dreams 1 - My Introduction To Explore The Secret Gateways To Dreams</u>".<br />

In addition to these I am also working on a very traditional piece for a class that I am taking through the Canadian Embroiderers' Guild (Guelph)(See <a href="http://guelpharts.ca/canadianembroiderersguild/">http://guelpharts.ca/canadianembroiderersguild/</a> for more information about the guild.) It is pure white on white andshould I ultimately finish this piece, I will post a picture. <br />
So the split personality is the skipping from the mundane world of databases, Excel, mailings and Word to the traditions stitch of Schwalm embroider with it's white-on-white to the freewheeling creativity of the Bead Journal Project.<br />
Stay tuned.....HeatherVhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16656286512377116940noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654864209054870370.post-86794337034616750552012-01-11T15:28:00.002-05:002012-01-11T15:28:45.004-05:00Moving AlongIt is a vast improvement, thanks to my friend <a href="http://lindakittmer.blogspot.com/">Linda K</a>. There is more work to be done still. I thought that you might be interested in seeing one of the surface design pieces that I created as a sample for my recent "Surface Design" workshop that I taught at the Canadian Embroiderers' Guild (Guelph).<br />
Stay tuned to see how this develops.<br />
