This morning I finished putting the leather on to enclose a large snap button. I don't think that I ever did it before. It worked very nice on top of the round hide clasp and you can wear it either on top or bottom of the cuff. I am very glad that I finished it. The embroidery cuff is not new.
I did not like my original June page project so I cut it apart and started over. I worked on it all morning. I kept the pansy but redid the background and used 6 x 8 Lacy's Stiff Stuff Beading Foundation on the back with fusible. I picked out the colors of lucite flower and leaf to match the beaded pansy for corners. It looks Victorian. They are not heavy and the fusible gives more support. The project is about 25 hours. I am very glad that I started over and tomorrow I am hoping to start my July page project. I will use the same size of beaded flowers and 6 x 8 fabric.
The English word "currant" has been used for this fruit only since 1550, taken from the fruit's resemblance to the dried currants of Greece, raisins made from a small seedless grape. Currants grow best in summer humid. Deb has currant shrubs in her garden that she makes currant jellies. I love to eat English muffin with currant jelly for breakfast.
Ken wanted me to try his 600mm telephoto lenses and a tripod again to take pictures of birds. I took pictures of a hummingbird and a robin. They are not sharp pictures. When we were on vacation, we saw cranes and a swan that I couldn't take closer pictures so I wanted to buy a telephoto lenses and tripod.
This is the bike routes that we biked. The pink line was our first night and short trip. The green line was our second day and longest trip.
I finished my June Bead Journal Project last Wednesday but didn't have time to post my picture in the blog. I was gone for vacation for 4 days. The beaded pansy was too large for wearable. I used my old fabrics, yarns, and a small nylon butterfly. This is my first 6 x 8 wall-hanging quilt project. Last week I was going to use my old sewing machine but it did not work. So I decided to sew the fabric by hand. I almost gave up ! I have used Pellon fusible fabric before. Last night I sewed a buttonhole stitch for the border. It is not perfect. My next project will be easier and better. I have too many fabrics that I never use them and will use them for my 12 projects. I am going to use July flower picture for this month project. I bought a book that I am going to try to embroidery flowers and leaves. You will have to wait to see it when I am done before August.
