It's National Dog Day!
Granddog General gets top billing ... well,
sort of. Her amazing cuteness at the other end of the
leash tops him by a long stretch. She did such a great
job walking him, even while she was swinging she kept
hold of his leash.

| Hat - check, water bottle - check, cute flip flops - check, leash - check major attitude - double check! |
 |
| Swings with her best bud! What a good ole boy he is. |
 |
| Of course, have to include Chance on this special day. He's my constant! His new collars are ready from the finisher, can't wait to see them. |
 |
| I've posted my progress on this new little bit. Movement© Here you see silk wrapped pearl purl below the gold leather. From Access Commodities Above, the stamens are worked with Gimp! I love Gimp! From Tentakulum. Both are couched onto the surface, both easily add so much dimension and texture. |
 |
| I've packed a lot of technique into this 5" square design. I couldn't leave the ends of the stamens just plain ... so ... of course, I filled them with cut Turkey Work! This is the first of a series of nine designs that I'm creating to help push stitchers out of their comfort zone. They're small treasures packed full of fun! Operative word here is small, not overwhelming. Offered as workshops through The Black Sheep in Orlando, Florida Yay!! Each piece will be offered over a two month span. 'Movement'© will begin the second Saturday of October and finish the second Saturday of November. Watch for more details.  |
