A peek at a layer cake...

After the birthday party I had some time to work on my latest embroidery project. Here is a peek...

It's going to be used in a collage. I'm still working the color scheme in my head. When I do a collage I usually get an idea in my head for the embroidery first...

As I work on the embroidery, colors, patterns, ideas and even words and phrases pop in to my head. I usually have a small notebook or journal next to me when I embroider - that way I can write the ideas down as the come in to my head. If I don't write them down - they will be gone with the next fleeting thought! As you might have guessed, the birthday cake was inspired by Alexa's birthday. I hope everyone has a week worth celebrating!!
