Been busy this week. We weren’t really thinking through the logistics of Asher and Alannah going along to AZ with Allen. That left just Aidan and Moira and the baby most of the time, which would be fine in the suburbs. It meant some creative arrangements for barn chores though since the baby had to be watched and none of us can lift a full 5gal water bucket at the moment. I have decided that there was no need to schedule separate aerobics classes in agrarian societies however! Whew! What a challenge!
Anyway, got several notes about the redwork this week and wanted to get you thinking about the possibilities. As usual I would not recommend buying much. And don’t limit yourself to the traditional stitchery patterns. Any outline illustrations can conceivably be used. For you children’s illustration lovers consider these resources:
mary engelbreit coloring (the simple drawings work best)
How much nicer to fill a child’s room with these images than with cartoons and marketing images. Many coloring books will yield good patterns for stitching as well. Look around your home. I bet you have more options than you think!
