We had a solid week of gray weather and rain here. I've been hard put to think about any larger creative issues beyond what I could hold in my hands under the lamplight.
I spent most of yesterday torturing this little piece of black wool. Now I wonder what will become of it if I try to iron/steam it flat.
Last weekend's dyefest took a lot out of me and now the pile of bright colors mock me from a corner of the studio.
I started another one of these at the office the other day but the fluorescent lighting was giving me a headache. It's one of those cube farms where you sit wherever when you get there, our schedules vary day to day, and I made the mistake of getting used to a particular seat and the lighting there.
Several days last week I had to sit in strange places with bad chairs and worse lighting. Now I have to take the time to go to my doctor so she will write me a note saying I have to have an ergonomically correct chair and have it committed to a seat where the lighting suits my needs too.
Whine, whine, whine.
Next!

i like the tiny delicate stitching on this--- but feeling restrained are we?
So you have to beg for an ergonomic chair? This need should be self-evident!
love love love the stitching!!! makes me wanna go stitch now, wish i could... fluorescent lights give me headaches too -stay away if you can...
Deb, I love the grid you've made here and the stitching. Great stuff.

Don't be ashamed to ask for that chair! I spent 3 weeks out of work once because we were working long hours at bad workstations, and I ended up with muscle spasms in my shoulder, physical therapy, drugs, etc. Then the company had to pay for the darn workstation improvements anyway!
I love this piece. It's beautiful and the stitchwork is exquisite.
How much time do you need to make them? They look great, but I feel this is very time consuming, right?
Time? I work on these while I am at my call center job. There is much time between calls late at night. I am both grateful to have the job and happy they let me fill idle time with my own work. The top piece is only a few evenings work.
I love this.
