Got to spend Christmas visiting my sisters in San Francisco. I now understand holiday travel stress. Aside from spending one Christmas in Germany, I have never had to travel a long distance during the holiday season. I am usually a lightweight traveler, a less is more, don't take too much stuff kind of a gal.
Anyway, back to the original reason of this post. I like to give my sisters handmade gifts if possible. The idea of making them cloth napkins came pretty late in the game, but I figured I could probably get them done fairly quickly. I was a little frantic getting the second set done before I left. Nothing like sewing when you should be packing!
Today was a rain day at work so I had extra time to do a little more sewing. Got it all ironed out and edges sewn and delivered to Art Express for framing.
Not much stitching done today but I did get the first batch of 2"x 2" cards ordered. Headed off to see the Giants play the Padres tonight!
This is the frame that I have chosen for the piece. It has a little band of texture that brings out the other deep grays in the piece. Not sure about the white mat yet. Started adding some light mocha brown to the mix.
Color is a off, but I started working the areas in between the cells with a smokey grey.
Today was a work day so I didn't get a lot done. Got three bee stings. My hand is sore.
