My favorite part about reading the comments from my last post was the utter gentleness that each of you who had constructive criticism exercised in your words. I am here to tell you, that yes, I know. I know. Really. I do. That intro piece is not right. Which is partly why I loved it so much yet definitely have not embraced it as a finished work. It entertains me, and even makes Nicolas laugh after a few days distance. I am thankful that the snazzy interwebuals allow me to share the process in all its quirky glory.
And really.
An animated intro? Not my biggest goal in life. Silly to begin with perhaps, but sometimes we just can't help ourselves.
I will look back on this like I do the photograph of myself at age 2 wearing nothing (really, nothing!) but a football helmut and a little undershirt that was very tight on my chubby belly.... a family favorite yes, but not quite right to share with the whole world. Ahem.
But speaking of works in progress, off to my corner of the living room.
thank you for the millions of dollars worth of 2 cents. Priceless.
xo, AM
I'm liking the butterfly A LOT. :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought it was extremely cute-very trendy looking, just needs a little more "sewing machine sound", than drum-tapping. But I loved the needle-that is our tool of trade, after all!! Nice!!
ReplyDeleteHow do I purchase that lovely needlepoint?
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, I love the embroidery!
ReplyDeleteIt was cute. I can't wait to spend some time with my boys doing things like that. And the fact that he was working on something for YOU... priceless.
ReplyDeleteI think an animated piece would be cute in a silent fluid needle and thread movement.
Love the butterfly. I struggle to do 1/16th of the lovely things you do. I admire your ability to not only get things done, but do them beautifully!
The butterfly is looking great. I am going to have to brush up on my hand stitching skills, I haven't embroidered in like forever. I am tempted just from seeing all your beautiful stitches here. Carolina

ReplyDeleteThat butterfly is quite inspiring! I don't remember seeing that in the free download... Curious!

ReplyDeleteTORI SPELLING...THANK YOU!
My girls have been doing embroidery all week for teacher gifts - it is the perfect sewing method for them. I can't wait to get them (and me!) some of your embroidery products. You have been so championing hand sewing recently that I think your ad should reflect that calm, not the intensity of the machine.
ReplyDeletePlease tell os how do we purchase that lovely needlepoint?
ReplyDeleteYour a doll, I love waking up to your posts! Yay for silly family pics and handsome needlework!!!...Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI love the embroidery! That butterfly is quite inspiring!

Beautiful embroidery. Love the banner one as well. Don't get to see that unless I click into comment from googlereader, but glad I did!
ReplyDeleteI didn;t get to comment on the "intro" but if you were to do something similar, but with each "stitch" being something that you were stitching...one stitch at a time......it might be fab. Different music (what are your faves?) and a design, like the butterfly? that would be stitched and finished one stitch at a time.
ReplyDeleteNice butterfly......
LOVE your butterfly. Gorgeous...

ReplyDeleteWhile a source familiar with Google’s auction android tablets strategy confirmed that the company android phones showed its irreverent side in the cheap android tablets auction process, the wholesale android phones source also said there’s no way wholesale android tablets Google took the auction lightly. It’s not like Google submitted three bids equal to mathematically significant numbers and hit the bar: contrary to the Reuters (NYSE: TRI) report, Google and Apple exchanged bids in $100 million increments until Apple (backed by the consortium) set the high-water mark at $4.5 billion during the 19th round of bidding. 2945abc45 0718
