Another week has passed

I did get some things accomplished. 

First I finished the witch gnome. I have not glued any mice to the pumpkins so our daughter can arrange the mice and pumpkins as she likes. She can put the mice on the pumpkins or in front of them. There is one mouse glued to the witches hat.

I’ve worked on my daughters house on my dad’s drafting vellum.

Here’s the house colored in with markers and intense pencils.

My first attempt was a failure because I worked it too much and the green intense pencil began to mix in with my dad’s pencil marks which grayed and darkened the color. It also made the the vellum wavy.  The other thing I noticed is that some parts were rough. It must have been where my dad had erased during his design.

Then I machine stitched the outlines.

Now I started the hand stitching.  I still have a way to go.

Thanks for reading. 

Back to stitching.
