remember this guy?
after ripping out both the thread and my hair, it was time to start over.
the stage was set, and my batteries were re-charged.
so this weekend i sat down and did it!
and i love it! the olive green memory thread was the perfect addition (thanks diana) and the beaded stars make it complete.
i really love how primitive it looks with the irregularly shaped stars. it's not the fanciest ornament ever, but it's a perfect representation of our historic water meters. and let's face it: a water meter isn't the most beautiful thing to behold anyways, so it should be a little primitive and gritty.
i love starting off the week with a finish!
and because she looked so beautiful in her bow from the groomer's...
princess peanut!
Oh Katherine you really nailed this one! It is beautiful! We lived in NO for 20+ years and this design is dear to our hearts. NO never leaves you once you have lived there. We're in Lafayette now but our hearts are still in NO. Thanks for sharing your wonderful stitching!
