Turkey Trot 5K

Brrrrr . . . . early morning 5K w/DD.

Some snow flurries around mile 2.5.

After the walk, swung by Starbucks - a popular place today.

We plan to grill out today -- just have a couple

of side dishes to put together.

Enjoy the day!

 

Embroidered Disk Class

 

Yesterday, the L.A.C.E. Chapter of the

International Organization of Lace had a presention + class on 2D / Disc embroidery inspired by Japanese Temari patterns.

Initially, I started the disc like a thread wrapped button!!  Not the correct idea for this disc ; )   I was carrying the fiber accross the back instead of creating little stitches along the points.   As it was 'pretty' as it was, did a few rounds in 2 colors.

Once I got the hang of herringbone -- I tried on top of the other pattern -- the dk reddish floss is the Herringbone Stitch -- I should have been using.   

All is well, the kit had extra disc pieces to try.   Extra hoop.   Will enjoy this small project.  I'll give it another go with herringbone - maybe the same DMC floss colors.
