So for my project for today I did some work on the stems and outlining. It’s slower going than the blackwork fill patterns. I could also only work on it after CJ went to “bed” in the reclining glider in the living room.

I was working on blackwork at my parents house this morning, then we went to story time at the Southgate Library, and I forgot my blackwork at Mom’s. I’ll have to work on something else tonight…and clean up the basement.

So I finished attaching the veil to the hood. I’m trying to figure out if I need a clip or something to help it stay up. I also want to add seam binding to the veil.
I also finished a “blackworked” caul. I totally cheated with it. I used the programmed blackwork in my Brother sewing machine to do an edge (I started it this summer) and I free stitched over a sketched out gilly flower. Then I hand embroidered a stem stitch over the flower. So tonight I stitched on the lining, and gathered the edge, and sewed on the petersham grossgrain ribbon over the edge. I think I’m going to need to add loops to bobby pin it on. It’s not big enough to just stay on my head, but too big for just a bun. I really just didn’t leave the open bottom to tie it shut, I made it small on purpose.
