It's Friday and It's Finished!

 

Well, I promised a Friday reveal . . .

so we may as well get right down to business!

It started with an idea

and a concept behind the idea 
     

and this drawing

and an old piece from an embroidered tablecloth 

of unknown origin.

And here's how it turned out:

I'm relatively pleased with it (for a first attempt!)

  

So I framed it up like this:

and now I believe I'm going to make a few more 

so I can put them on Etsy.

 

And now (not to toot my own horn, but--)

Can a cow toot its own horn?

in other news . . . 

I'm going to Baltimore again! 

I also got accepted for St. Paul, Atlanta and San Francisco, but I'm going to have to consult my truck driver/booth hand as to his 2011 availability before I make any further decisions about my show schedule for next year.  But it's always good to have a deadline coming up.  And Baltimore is a big deadline!

So I suppose I'll have to quit fiddlin' and get back to REAL work.
(After a few more embroideries, of course -- there's still room for improvement.)

Luckily, I have plenty of unfinished work patiently waiting for me to notice it . . . 
 

Happy Weekend!
