I stitched this a couple of years ago for a book I contributed to, Embroider your Life, and I found it tucked away in my desk recently. It's stitched on a linen base and is a slipcover for a hardback sketchbook. So, it's reusable, which is nice. I forget how much I love one-color needlework, especially when I use different thicknesses of thread. This pencil was procured from the fabulous pencil shop in NYC, CW Pencil Enterprise.
I am up to my ears in costume construction and altering for spring shows. I also am going to finish Dune on audio book. I have 3 hours left. It's great—dated, awesome, and also goofy because the narrator does the women's voices too, but in a weird falsetto which is really amusing to me. Also, Paul is a kind of a whiner, but I know he's a teen, so I get it. It's hard being a teen messiah. I had never read it, or seen the movie, (I don't plan on watching the movie) but I know this book played a big part in forming my brother's personality and life view. That and Van Halen. I think for me it was Xanadu (the record and the movie) and Mists of Avalon.
I am really appreciating this list of recommended movies streaming on netflix right now from the New York Times. I feel like I spend more time trying to decide what to watch than actually watching, so this is helpful.
