Embroidery done, punch found (not
really lost) and grommets too. Too bad there are just 6, (not even
enough for 1 sneaker) and in several different colors (I want all
white). I think I want white ribbon, too, but green is a close run
in my thought process. The punch will make holes, and will also set
the grommets, too.
The question of the day is: Where is my
white floss? I am sure I have white floss... but I can't find any.
No doubt, the second I come home from the craft store, with a skein
in tow, several skeins will jump out at me. White floss is needed to do a corner flower or two of embroidery on my black sneakers.. (I have lots of white and black summer prints--a pair of sneakers with a little floral print will be a good go with!)
I have errands to run tomorrow, and
likely the last will be to AC Moore for floss, and for grommets, and
maybe some worsted weight cotton for some potholders.... (and maybe
more if I think of other things I need.) Its been months since I have
been to AC Moore, so who knows what will grab my interest! There
will be just a smidgeon of embroidery on the black sneakers, so they
should be done in heart beat—by the end of the week I hope.
I have a huge selection of floss (some
of it so old, it has 5¢
price tags!) I used to do a lot of casual embroidery on collars and
cuffs, on my clothes and on my kids clothes. I've always liked have
personalized clothing. Embroider is one way to achieve
individualized clothing—These sneakers have taken a few weeks, but
I haven't worked on them continually, but picked them up and put them
down. I am pleased with the results. Even if they aren't entirely
finished.
