a little beading time today after a long run. laurie is strong, just trying to keep up. watched the newly released Eliud Kipchoge sub 2-hour marathon documentary this afternoon. great!

tried the moroccan thread to outline the petals. no go. tomorrow i’ll find a new way and try again! i’ll also unravel the whole things in order to consider the final creative touches and gaps. already have a new idea for the next stocking. that’s unusual so i’ll be ready anew once this is done.

it will be a mexican otomi pattern - i do love all things mexican 🇲🇽.
