Dark Side of the Moon

The weekend started with a very nice party on Friday evening, got somewhat busy with errands and projects on Saturday (projects somewhat derailed by books picked up from the library), and over-busy on Sunday with an SCA event, so I decided to skip life-drawing this time. Things that did get done:

( ~ applique, embroidery, macaroons ~ )  

I've started some new needlework projects because (1) it's useful to have some hand-sewing for events, or for when other people are hogging using the home computer, and (2) I'm still rethinking how to get a particular polymer clay sculpture to work and that's put me off the clay pieces for a while. The first project started is a pillow with applique, in the style of some Hardwick Hall hangings of the late 1500s.

Next steps will be pinning in place and stitching down, and finally the cording.
