Lots of Progress

Since my last post, I have been dividing my time between creating fun things on my new CNC machine and working on my rug.  I finally feel as if I am on the homeward stretch now.  I am currently working the light blue background around the top half.  Once that is done, I will only have the center to finish.  It always feels good when I pass the halfway point on a particular project because I then know that I may soon start the next one.

I have also been having a lot of fun with my new machine and have been cutting out my new creations to see how they look.  So far, I haven't had to tweak much in my designs and it is so satisfying being able to create something out of my imagination and see it come to life.

I have decided to expand my blog from only stitching projects to include other projects I have created for my shop.  I think it gives a more well-rounded view of my activities and those of my daughters.  My youngest daughter has agreed to join me in my miniature venture and is currently working on writing a miniature book for me.  Heather absolutely loves to write and is currently working on a full-length book she wishes to publish eventually.  I am looking forward to seeing what she comes up with for me. 🙂
