In the Mail

I've gotten some lovely new threads lately.
From Stef Francis - threads, silk ribbon,
 and silk throwster waste.  (above and below)


 And from Rainbow Girl - threads and
 hand dyed silk carrier rods.



Lovely, lovely, lovely.

I have handled them a lot--
trying to dream up a project that will 
require these lovely threads.

Because soon dolls will be abandoned 
and stitching will begin again.

I finished Clio, the book doll, but I'm not entirely happy
with the head.  She kept changing as I worked on her,
and may need to have her head replaced.
Off With Her Head...and all that.
I'll show pictures of her tomorrow with her current head.

  6. Judy - Not yet sure what the project will be, but couldn't resist these beauties. I will have to figure out something soon so I can quit obsessing about them!
