Kilmouski is very good at choosing Mother's Day gifts. I think he is trying to tell me that I shouldn't neglect my embroidery projects. These are the most beautiful embroidery scissors I have ever seen.
I have been weaving and forming 10 gauge sterling silver wire. Talk about tough!!! Forming it isn't a problem, it's the weaving. There is no way I could do this with anyone else around, it makes you say some seriously bad words! Now all I have to do is carve a spike out of African Blackwood to go through to two end pieces then I can wear it in my hair.
Happy Mother's Day Everyone!
Your hair piece is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love the scissors too, I am addicted to scissors :o) Best wishes, Rosanna
The scissors are really wonderful. I have a couple of Gingher pairs and love them! Germany makes the best scissors! I LOVE that future clip for your hair! It came out stunning! What a Gorgeous design!

Sorry to have missed seeing you in Chicago.......would love to have met you and John "Merriman Park" and the other fellow bloggers who were there. Maybe next year!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful Catherine! Good Luck with carving the Blackwood, it must be one of the hardest woods around, I find carving and shaping it really hard work.

ReplyDeleteI don't know what it is about embroidery scissors. I love the quality of these and the leather cases.
The hair ornament was evil. My thumb joints never want to weave another one.
