I somehow managed to sit still for a few hours yesterday so today now, I have something interesting to show!
I handpainted an applique and some tiny daisy trim. I believe that trim is left over from my wedding dress which my mother made. Anyway, I sew the little daisies around the heart and then beaded them.
I added some cream colored lace and beaded that with some tiny heart beads. I think they're quartz or some natural stone that were dyed. My friend Lula sent them to me years ago and I've been saving them. I don't know why or for what, I just couldn't bring myself to cut the string and use them. But I knew they would be perfect for this project so I cut the string and sewed some on!
I added sequins and the blue braid as well. I'll probably do some beading on the applique next.
Just a few little motifs

and this will be finished.
The dmc 869 was chosen over 611 and I'm really pleased. I tried a few
other off whites and decided to stay with 746.
This...
