Appetizer Sampler at IHOP with battered and deep fried mozzarella sticks, chicken strips, and onion rings. $4.99
It's taking a while, but I've made a bit of progress! My 'teach myself embroidery' sampler is proving very therapeutic. Although no-one seems to want to sit next to me when I'm sewing on the tram. ??

Mixing my color scraps for the 'main' fabric and printed whites for my background fabric, I created a completely unique look and layout for Tula Pink's Modern Sampler.

Yeah it's a bit late, but it's her Christening today, so it's a Christening present.
This is probably the most fun I've had to date with a sampler. Thanks to the lovelies at www.spritestitch.com for Yoshi, Peach and the stars.
A modern twist on old fashioned embroidery samplers made to commemorate a year or special event.
Inspired by one of the most written-about stories of 2008 - The Credit Crunch!
For a competition on Folksy - I came 4th! Hurrah! Thanks to everyone who voted xxx
As a crafter, I've been really interested in how an almost wartime-like "make do and mend" attitude has been cropping up in connection with the credit crunch. Now the mass-consumption bubble has burst people are rediscovering the specialness of handmade things, and "old fashioned" hobbies like sewing are experiencing a revival:

Freehand embroidery on white felt, framed in an embroidery hoop.
This embroidery sampler is hanging in a restaurant in the village. Fanciful birds, some with multiple heads, decorate the huipiles of this village, the older ones often all in red. Newer ones are in multiple bright colors and are dazzling. The work here is outstanding, unlimited creativity, though only the oldest women still wear the huipil anymore. Young women wear it only for special occasions, if at all. These birds are turkeys.
Una muestra de bordado a mano con diseños tradicionales de guajolotes. El uso de un solo color (rojo) es muy tradicional para huipiles pero ahora, los hacen con muchos colores. Se bordó esta servilleta en tela comercial cuadrillé, pero para hacer un huipil lo tejen en telar de cintura. Las aves son guajolotes.

This sampler was given to me by an old friend of many years on a milestone birthday. It's hanging over my desk and it makes me smile every time I read it. I am lucky to have some wonderful friends.

Signed this off yesterday, just needs a bit of a wash and an iron. I started teaching myself embroidery spring 2010 by drawing stuff in biro then stitching over it. This is a sampler of all my practise, from my very first attempts. Time to start a new one!
Here it is just getting started disobedientchild.wordpress.com/2011/01/12/practice-makes-...
The cheapo feeder was popular today during the snow storm. It was tough to get clean shots of individual birds. This one has a Cardinal, House Sparrow and White-throated Sparrow flying past.
This is one of those photos that probably looks better as a "thumb"

This is the first image i've done any kinda work on in a series I will be continuing, using my lovely friends Jake and Taylor as models. I'm wanting to go for a sort of 50's era feel. I'm really excited to keep working on it!
