New M+R Pencil Sharpener

I love my new shiny red pencil sharpener. It adjusts from a blunt to a very sharp point. All those sharpened pencils inspired me, so I used these old Prismacolors and sketched my horse. Fun!

I finished this little kit, which had been waiting patiently for about fifteen years. If I want to continue with fine embroidery, I’ve decided I need a magnifying glass!
This project sat around for about two years, until I put in the final effort to finish the punching, hemming, and backing. Rather groovy design.


I finished the vintage Hokusai bunka kit today. The ocean horizon line is crooked because it was still tacked in the frame when I took the picture. This type of embroidery may be a little dated, but I liked it so much I’ve been bidding on bunka yarn to try an original design.
