Look in my direction, I'll be round.

I made a list the other day. It's a very neurotic list of all the crafty things I want to finish before the end of the year. Some (no, most) of these crafty things are already in progress; three or four haven't been started yet, but they're intended as Christmas gifts, so onto the list they must go. Due to the Christmas angle, I'm not going to post the list here, but I am going to make an announcement whenever I finish something.

And here's the first one!


An embroidered lyric from one of my favorite Beatles songs, with accompanying cute little bird (traced from a line drawing I found online). It's been lying around, in various states of unfinish, for a year or so. Twice during that time, I found this quite comforting to stitch when I was feeling unappreciated, You don't get me, but John Lennon does, so all y'all can just

Oops, sorry. Fortunately, my infrequent bouts of self-pity did not work their way into the stitchery, and I'm very pleased with the way this turned out. I'd like to think I could turn it into a quilted wall hanging, but of course my sewing skills are questionable at best, so maybe I'll just find an awesome frame for it.
