{TH} read

After seeing Lesley's post about participating in Peggy's new crafting/sewing/reading group, I thought I'd join in as well.  I'm hoping the weekly contact with these folks will inspire me and give me a 'much needed' kick in the pants to get back into some sort of creative work.  As I was telling a sweet friend earlier, it's so easy to be busy cleaning and tidying so much that, all the while I forget how enriching a simple hour of sewing can be for me. And since I last commented and photographed this piece, I've added the umbrella and am working on the chicken, happily from a pattern dear Bonnie shared with me recently.  Definitely have to have a chick on a piece that showcases favorite things!

So, the embroidery photo is from a piece I began AGES ago.  Now it's out and I'm ready to get serious with some crafting now. The books are part of my current pile, but just part of it.  The stash of reading material changes almost daily.
