Making Progress...

My "With Love" series is coming along. For the first time, I feel that I will likely have a finished piece to bring to the Pasadena gallery in September. The tags pictured here are those really tiny ones - approx. 3/4" tall. I redid the french knots you see in the ribbon. I felt the brown was too distracting. I replaced them with a little cluster of ivory seed beads.

I worked a lot this weekend in my studio. But the nice thing about fabric and sewing is that it's generally portable. I think I spent an equal amount of time working in front of the TV while Steve relaxed and watched football.

Speaking of which, I CANNOT wait for the regular season to start! For those of you who don't know it, I am a HUGE football fan... the Miami Dolphins being my team. Steve roots for the Raiders. You'll know we're diehard fans when I tell you that we tacked on a trip after our Hawaii honeymoon to run up to Oakland because the Dolphins were playing the Raiders that weekend. Now that's dedication! I keep telling Steve how lucky he is...
