a picture... at last!

Now on my listy- list I had included a note to put some pictures on this blog...

so here are a few of my embroidery, which has been under progress (with breaks) for the last few years.... Its for my niece (surprisingly enough!).

... notice the large gaping hole in the middle??? I will fill it up soon, but am currently growing a supposedly Clarice Cliff style tree, on the side( you can see the trunk under construction on the right), which I will show when it is finished.

I went a tad overboard with the clouds and the gold thread. I love clouds and they constantly appear in my word. Ditto for vertical lines!!!
....and I love old buttons!
