Lets see there is a full moon, a blue moon, a harvest moon, a moon that waxes and wanes, a new moon and now there is a blood moon? I have never heard of that one and not sure that I could stay awake to view this total lunar eclipse.

And it seems like it’s been moons ago since I last blogged. Everything is okay…I just needed to channel all of my creative juices into my stitching for market pieces. You know it takes allot of time and thought to think of what the heck am I going to talk about, take pictures without the cats photobombing them, sending them to my computer, cropping, highlighting and then writing away.

If you think about it, we stitch a lot of moons on our canvases. I stitched one on Mr. Cat, but after looking for something on Pepperberry’s website, I should be calling him “Meet Mr. Ca!t”

The moon was stitched in 4-way Continental with 2 strands Rainbow Gallery’s Sparkle Braid. Kreinik 091 which is a great go to yellow color and is what I normally use, well the color didn’t look right, so out it came.

So then I thought that I would bead the moon, since I had already created the handle for the sweep brush at that time, the beads for the moon would be okay. So I thought I would make them glow-in-the-dark beads by using a very transparent bead and using Kreinik glow-in-the-dark blending filament as my beading thread. Well it glowed, but then it looked gray and out it came. Thats sorta kinda why the moon looks like it is made of Swiss cheese!

So my piecese are done for market, my house is a mess, my plants are thirsting for a drink of water and have sooooooooooo much laundry to do!

I have been working on ideas for the Holly Hills Russian Santa, so this weekend I will start talking about it and sharing what I am going to do.

I think sylvester was bored with all my stitching going on.

BTW, what a great Padres game tonight vs the Colorado Rockies! wish I was there. and until next time…keep on stitching
