BTR Bag - More Embroidery Success!!!
I am almost finished with the embroidery part of my BTR handbag. I won't get to start sewing until Saturday! I took the embroidery part with me to work tonight since it was a quiet night. The unfortunate part of my evening is that one of my favorite residents at the Independent/Assisted Living Community I work at passed away this morning. One of the other residents who normally sits with me in the evenings and keeps me company is in the hospital. So, I went from two guests spending the evening with me to no one. I found the embroidery to be a useful distraction for the loneliness of the evening. I added french knots to the end of each row. I am totally addicted to french knots now. This was my first time to ever make a french knot and now I am afraid I may go crazy with them. Here is a picture of the progress:

I'm sorry you lost a friend. It must be difficult because you can't help but get attached.
ReplyDeletewhich home do you work with? I had a client out off 35...just wondering if it is the same one.
I think embroidery (or knitting or crochet) can be relaxing and keep the fingers and mind occupied...
ReplyDeleteI like french knots too. :) I'm embroidering a stole for my husband's ordination and I did lots and lots of french knots for the sheep's wool!
Your embroidered stars are so cute. Your partner will love it.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy the residents have you to befriend. I know you must be a bright spot in their day. Friendships are always worth the potential heartbreak...
