July BJP – DONE! Salute to Woodland – and a link I love

Managed to finish my July doll. There’s a bit of a story behind this.…plus as I started stitching and embellishing it took on a “woodland nymph” theme…which is interesting since our very chaotic month ended up in woods around Leadville in the mountains.
The back got some flowers – obviously you can see I’m playing with the feather stitch her and some pretty beads.

On to the weekend – we’re enjoying a reunion in Leadville, Colorado – very picturesque and the weather has been amazingly accommodating! Having lots of fun and enjoying seeing some very old friends (ok, the friends aren’t old, the friendships are – ha ha). So, we’re off to the Elks club tonight and to have a bit more fun…home tomorrow!

Before I go tho – Racaire (who does some of my favorite historical embroidery) is doing some lovely needle lace – although she claims to NOT be expert because she doesn’t have many pictures of her work…go check it out!
