These first three weeks of school have been pretty draining, so I've been embroidering towels to unwind.
I've been knitting, too, but I didn't want to feature the same project over and over!
This morning a bunch of people from the writing program I participated in this past summer got together to begin a writing group. It was amazing. We had a great turnout. We started out by writing from a prompt one participant brought, and shared. Some of us brought in pieces that we've been working on. I almost didn't share mine. But the others encouraged me, and then gave me feedback that was both useful and supportive. We're planning to meet monthly. Maybe I will actually finish this short story!
We're having company tonight, so the house is clean! Isn't that a great feeling? I was busy all day, so I hope to have a more relaxing day tomorrow.
I love your stitch work. I admire it and am amazed its relaxing to yoU! THey are darling.
ReplyDeleteYOu go girl with your writing!!!!
It is nice to have company and then have a clean home!
WE entertained about once a week this summer and it really made us keep up with housework.
I had a very lazy day and loved it.
love the embroidery......it's something i usually really like to do, too....i just can't seem to get away from the knitting to get much done.
ReplyDeleteI wish I didn't suck at embroidery - yours is always so charming. I know exactly what you mean about a clean house! My brother's flying in for a week at the beginning of November so I'm cleaning too!
ReplyDeleteOh I love those towels - nice job!
ReplyDeleteI love writing, and would love to be in a writing group. But I'm too lazy to find a class and/or a group ...
Those towels are adorable. I didn't know they even made that kind anymore. That's what I started with when I was first learning to sew as a kid.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are meeting with your group and I am glad you shared, your last work with them was so wonderful.

Whew, embroidery always looks like such hard work! Look at all that beautiful detail!
ReplyDeleteDish towels are such a lovely gift. I'm envious you find them mindless! It sounds like that summer writing program was so great that you are all coming together on your own now. I love the clean house feeling. I loathe cleaning -- seriously, loathe it.
