It's time to wish all my reader-friends a very Merry Christmas....
...and a happy and creative New Year!!!
Hopefully I will get back into my blogging groove in January....
...because I certainly seem to have fallen out of it lately! :-o
2012 has been a really great year for inspiration gathering,,,,
...which is wonderful, as I have a "VERY SPECIAL PROJECT" that will be coming to light in 2013.
Here are a few (close-up) piccies of my large blanket that should be finding their way into "something or other" between now and November next ;-)
I know that this isn't going to be an easy journey....
...and I'm absolutely certain that there will be times when I wonder why-the-heck I do this to myself....
...until it all comes together....
...as it ALWAYS does....
..and then I KNOW exactly why :-D
Although much of my 2013 work will have to remain "under wraps"...
...I'm sure that I'll still find plenty to blog-on about!
...and I can ALWAYS find time to mooch around YOUR blogs too :-)))
A BIG HUG to all of you in this delightful blogging land...
...keep happy and safe....
...and I'll see you again in about the second week of next year.

..some piccies of THAT purchase....
I hinted about this in last weeks post about Artique...
Of course, whenever I go there....
...it's never a short visit....
...and the plastic card is ALWAYS employed :-o
The only problem is WHAT to buy!
I do try to get things that can be used as inspiration pieces....
...that can be employed as samples to work up....
...or as pictures for publication.
This time I struck GOLD with an Afghan blanket...
...8ft x 6ft...
...and made up of over 100 pieces of hand embroidery that have been applied to a backing and stitched together with couched thread bundles.
Here are just a few fragments...
(high-quality photos to show close detail as well as possible)
What a BEAUTY!! :-)))
