Henry is a hunk!

Oh my. I just watched episode one of the first season of "The Tudors" on DVD. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers makes a great Henry VIII and the costumes are seriously inspirational. I don't think there are too many men who could look that good in those silly puffed pantaloons, but he manages. And the women's dresses make me want to go back into costuming in a serious way. Okay, fine. I know I've been shilly-shallying about rejoining the SCA, but the time has come.

Reversed Seasons

Here it is, a beautiful day in spring, but what am I posting? A Halloween bellpull. I WILL get all my old stuff posted someday and then everything will be in its proper season. I loved making this one. It is loaded with china bats and candy corn and sparkly spiders and has the "goblins and ghosties" prayer.

In the Forest

This piece, Woodland Walk by the Drawn Thread , is to be a companion to the Green Man plaque in my livingroom. I have to get it framed and up in time for May Day.

The Sorcerer

He's all done and ready for framing.
Somehow there's a message in finishing a piece my son picked 2 minutes before he calls to tell me he got the job he wanted. It's wizardry!

Logan's Castle

This is a piece waiting to be re-finished. It was a door pillow, but got dirty and had to be unassembled and washed. I think I'll redo it in a frame this go. Logan is a little old for a door sign now!

Needlepoint blues

Here's the first (and perhaps last) needlepoint I've ever made. My ex-mother-in-law started it and hated it. Thus, it wound up in MY sewing basket. I like unicorns and the color blue, but this was a bit much!


Honestly it won't be the last needlepoint I do, since I have a work in progress. Of course, it's been in progress since 1997....

Berries

This is another old piece that I quite like. I bought the Scandinavian kit in Granville, Ohio back in the mid 1980's and this is the result. It is done in Danish Flower thread on linen and has more shades of green than can be imagined.
