This is my 2"x 3" embroidery for the upcoming miniature show at IN A FRAME in June. It's based on a photograph and pattern overlay using Adobe. I keep meaning to paint it one of these years, ahem!

Looks kind of part Siamese, huh? Probably too delicate for my household but pretty just the same.
BTW, lovely embroidery. So perfect!
I've been trying to do a little (rewinding the tape back a LONG way!) I'm discovering I need a better light source for my aging eyes...any suggestions? Thanks.

I usually sit by the window OR at night have a strong lamp light directed on my embroidery along with the ceiling light.
I have heard some mention" mighty bright vusion" lamps but don't know anyone who has actually used it.
Love,
Sue (Who is a bad friend and blogger and does not leave commenst like I should but visits how is that for a run on sentence!)
