Plenty of Work and a Weekend Trip

I spent today drilling holes in a new platter. Not only do I have to drill a million holes, but I then have to go over each one with a ball bur to take off the sharp burs because they tear my embroidery thread when I am sewing. Very time consuming...and I am probably doomed to get carpal tunnel any day now.
This one is going to be a wall piece, and its a self portrait.
I am running off to the high country (and cooler weather) to the family cabin this weekend. I should have plenty of time to get all the embroidery done on this piece. Hopefully I will have it to show you on Monday. I will also have lots of pictures from my adventures this weekend...I am going to a really beautiful place. Have a great weekend everybody!

Have a great weekend - I think I can see the silhouette in the center and I'm really anxious to see the final product.

Good luck with the future carpal tunnel.

Lynette,

I've been meaning to comment for a while about your new platter series… they are so amazingly beautiful and such a great idea. I just love them! Can't wait to see how this one turns out.

Cheers,
Margaux
