Sketches

I've been spending the days lately organizing my fabric and threads, but like to sketch when I'm watching TV at night. Sometimes these sketches become embroideries, sometimes not.

Here's a typical evening scene - Rosie on the back of my chair, chirping for me to pat her.

She refuses to sit on any person's lap, but likes to be patted if you don't look at her!

Do we need the cat psychiatrist here for a visit?

...Which brings me to this imaginary portrait of me with my kitties-

imaginary because (a) they would never sit so peacefully together,

and (b) Rosie would never be sitting so sweetly on my lap!!

And finally, a little machine embroidered sketch. I'm practicing going around tight curves because I'd like to try machine stitched handwriting. I need lots of practice!!

 Hope your Monday has been a good one!
