This is growing by leaps and bounds, a few minor mistakes here and there, but nothing that needs to be frogged.
I was looking through my craft books and look what I found. I’m pretty sure I bought this from a woman who was downsizing and needed to get rid of a lot of her craft books and supplies. I’m also pretty sure I thought this could be a basis for color work in knitting.
I am going to have fun. These look old and traditional.
This is what I was looking for. Published in 1972, with a forward by Moshe Dayan’s wife…. Jerusalem embroidery. I think I’ve owned this since 1972, never ever used it, but also, never let it go. (unlike some Alice Starmore and Elizabeth Zimmerman books). I think I kept it as an heirloom, never thinking I’d ever use it.
I’m changing my mind.
Not sure if I’ll make some small items, or larger ones.
This will be fun, the schematics are black and white symbols. The thread colors are DMC… Ok, I am officially shook. I just inputed numbers from almost 50 years ago and they are coming up the correct colors. I’m going to have to make some of these patterns!
Its still Hanukkah. Got to love my boys, Eyal made this menorah and they are using it! They even let him light the candles.
Opening his gifts. Every kid needs zingo! Sorry I didn’t get a smile.
Please ignore the bruise on her forehead, at her age, her uncle had about five in different gradations of discolor. She got jewelry. No, she won’t be able to play on her own yet, but she was soooo excited! I love how my granddaughters are such girls!!!
We had our last Grandma and me for a month. Before we headed out, she needed a nap. I don’t know who is happier, her or me.
