Hello people. How's your week going? In a week it will be July! I can't believe how fast the months are passing. I know the 4th is coming up because I hear firecrackers/bombs all day and evening.
I wanted to show you the progress on the simple sampler from Frances. While working on the dividing bands, I happened to look more closely at the chart (doesn't happen often enough), and saw that some of the bands in the center are not black, they are the other neutral.
The chart photo shows them stitched in black. Now I'm not sure which is correct but it doesn't matter to me since I rarely stitch the reproductions as charted. So I guess it's my decision, which I wasn't planning on. Either would be nice but I'm leaning toward using the neutral, just to break up the black. Hey! I made a decision.
Do you remember back in 2011 I mentioned having my eyebrows tattooed? Well I finally got around to making the appointment with a permanent makeup artist. Went today and they will be prominent for a few days to a week until the excess ink fades. I already know I will have a touch up in a few weeks and am happy I did it. I've heard so many sources say they go to her and are thrilled with their results so I knew she was good. I have hardly any brows left and thinning more every year with two completely bare spots. The way I sweat from flashes makes it difficult to keep them penciled, now I can wipe away and the color will stay. I really wanted the traditional permanent method but no one does it around here so I went with the cosmetic (Soft-tap) type which will need touched up every year or two as it fades. I may even get the thin eyeliner.
I'll be wearing the 30 day event monitor and I'm thinking....those electrodes better have industrial strength sticky because I will sweat them right off, or short them out from moisture.
Sorry I didn't enter the names again yet so I will set a time which forces me to do it.
Friday night at 8pm!
Thanks for visiting.

These small samplers are beautiful because of the simpliness of the chart.

Hi Marly: Love this Sampler, so pretty, I am like you and make changes.
I want to get tattoo eyebrows, lucky for me my Cousin has a tattoo shop, I will be talking to him Sunday at a gathering.
Blessings

That sampler is very nice. Good that you are doing it "your" way. I use to have very lush eyebrows and in the last two years I have noticed some thinning :( *Sniff *sniff. You are braver women than I if you go through with the eyeliner tattoo....LOL Hope you have a beautiful weekend and get a lot of stitching time in!
I would love to my eyebrows tattooed! I used to have the nice eyebrows, too...the eyeliner would be great...since I have put it on every single day since I was 16! Love the sampler...
Simple samplers are my favorite, especially with a variety of neutrals stitched in...as for the eyebrows...some day I'll get the name from you...my eyebrows are slowly becoming a thing of the past...
The little eyebrows I have are blonde/white. Would love to have some tattooed! And eyeliner, too, as I can never wear make-up in the summer. I look like I have two black eyes an hour after I do them.
By the way, Love the little sampler!!
Marly, your simple sampler looks good. Thanks to you, I have found a handful of simple samplers that call to me. Enjoy your weekend!
Love the sampler Marly. You are right you can change what you want. Need my eyebrows done too. They are very light and like the others have become a thing of the past. Enjoy the sampler.
What a great idea for your eyebrows! Mine are getting pretty thin too. Your new sampler is so pretty. I think the neutrals will look good.
Beautiful samplers!
