The acronym is very appropriate; things are rather damp in Providence.
Here's the latest progress on the sampler; I feel that the end of the center is legitimately in sight. Then there will just be the borders, with the names.
From now on, Wedding Embroidery Wednesdays are going to be on Thursday. I have a rehearsal every Wednesday night, and those usually go until ten or later. If I tutor or have a meeting on Wednesday afternoon, then I don't really have a chance to desperately make progress (strike that; read) take pictures of the embroidery.
This week, my main craft outlet has been putting together Ikea furniture and posting giveaways of things we no longer need on the grad student e-mail list.
Here is this week's embroidery:
Hopefully, now that there's the new Mythbusters, I'll be able to get more done.
Return of motivation.
I did actually make a good chunk of progress, and it was done by Wednesday; it was just not good photography weather. It's actually sunny here today, although it's cold.
Unfortunately, my progress seems to have slowed from one motif a day to one motif a week.
This has been a very long and unbloggable week.
In my partial defense for the delay, yesterday was Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. (We had a three day week, missing Monday and Friday.)
Here is the progress for the week, all of which I did on 'Wednesday:'
In, under the wire, with a computer picture taken on a rainy night:
It's amazing how much less embroidery one gets done when one is no longer on break.
Here it is this week. I've made a good chunk of progress, but there's still more to go.
Inspired by the Finishing Fridays over at Major Knitter, I'm inaugurating Wedding Embroidery Wednesdays.
I started working on this embroidery back in 2006, before my brother got married. I didn't exactly get it done in time for the wedding. That was OK; it would make a great first anniversary present.
I didn't get it finished for then either. That was OK; the second anniversary is cotton.
I didn't get it finished for then. I really do want to get it done before their silver anniversary, so I'm planning on posting a picture every Wednesday. After all, this worked for the guitar (oh, wait…).
This sampler is traditional in my family. My mother and father have one, as does my mother's sister. The design is symmetrical, except for the man and woman. Around the outside there will be my brother and sister-in-law's names, 'Wedded,' and their wedding date. The black line through the heart and the white line a quarter of the way down the woman' side are just thread markings; they'll be pulled once I have the center finished.
