It seems like I have less time to do some things but more time to relax at night and work on projects. This week was a new stitchery by Kathy Schmitz. I got an idea to try something different and made an egg shape to put it on.
It was fun to make and I love how it came out. The egg is 9" tall so a nice size to display with my other Easter items. I used Gold Faber colored pencils to color it and thicker rug yarn for the edge.
I also had time to make up some Easter masks for the boys. I was hoping to find something more for boys, but Nick loves pretty colors and Alex doesn't care, so they will be fun to wear for the season.
Most of our time is spent at home for the doctors. Bill has surgery next week, so I am trying to organize my time so I have time for me and hopefully I will be able to get out by myself when the weather warms up. I do need my outdoor time and it won't be long before the birds come home from the south, so I can't wait to go back to areas where they nest.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and is doing well.
Oh No your husband needs surgery from his fall! I am so sorry for you both! your finishes are wonderful as always and the masks are very sweet for the boys.

Thoughts and prayers for your husband's surgery. During COVID times it is especially stressful. Your egg is wonderful. The rug yarn is the exact perfect finishing touch. You sure have a gift with color; I have trouble finding the right accent colors.
ReplyDeleteLove the big Easter Egg and the boys' masks - they're so cheerful. Sorry to read that Bill needs surgery.

I love what you did with Kathy's pattern. That was inspired! I bet she liked it, too. I hope everything goes well for Bill and he is soon back to his old tricks!
