broke my back & had to sit a lot...

after I broke my back in a fall off of a 6 inch stool... the only time it didnt hurt was when I would sit in the recliner. So to keep from going nuts. Nanette got me started on project # one... It is a lazer cut that you choose the colors you like and tuck them into the cuts on the foam material.
I thought that the two pictures turned out nicely.
Project # two was also given to me by Nanette. It didnt apeal to me too much at first... I pieced it together and sewed on the felted wool flowers and did some embrodriary..( dont you just love my spelling) The more unusual thing about my project IS that I am visually challenged so that I am unable to sew with a sewing machine... everything is sewn with a needle and thread. and how do I thread a needle? I have tried starching the thread so that it would go thru the needle.... not too sucessful... and then Theron sent me a small plastic box like object
I put the needle hole side down and place the thread across the top and push a button and waa hoo the needle is threaded. I now love project #2

project # 3 is a christmas or winter wall hanging... I really struggled with this one... at one point I had completed all the stars for the sides and... later could not find them... I must have thrown them out.. I almost gave up at that point however I thought about it and went and bought more fabric. and completed the job... the hardest part for me was the embroidary.. me satin stich work that spells WINTER looks like it was done by a drunken sailor... This project got me to thinking about doing the four seasons. Sooo now I have almost completed the four different wall hangings for the seasons.... MORE TO COME LATTER Love Robin
