Unstuffed (and Wrinkled) Updates

Hey, Updates.  

While sewing today, my feet started to get excited.  It was that feeling that makes you move them about, or walk around, or jump.  I pushed the school lovin' aside and embroidered for five hours, then used the 1978 Pfaff to very efficiently make progress.  Thanks a lot, electricity.  The date of 11/15 is flying towards me like a crazed bird.  

I'm learning the ins-and-outs of this process, the hours it takes, and the ever-important life-skill of knowing multiple artistic stitches for complete applicability during emergencies.

But, I'm full of contentment.  I realize that hand embroidery is not the most efficient or cost-effective means to create.  The husband asked me the other night if I even enjoyed it, and luckily, for what I am currently considering "work," I bloody love it.  As previous posts acknowledge, and whether it's a product of feeling self-entitled or not, my heart, hands, and head are, after the last seven years of corporate work, in harmony.  It's sigh-filled bliss.

Below are the unstuffed, very wrinkled, and featured in poor daylight versions of 6 of the 10 products for this initial launch.

I'm digging in my heels to slow down time.  11/15, here these come.
