Yes, it is true that I finished two projects today! I'm so excited!! I was able to finish both on the same day because I've been working on both as I could.

PROJECT TWO: This project is a new blouse for my Romani garb for SCA events. I am changing all of my garb this year to be more in line with what I think the Romani wore, not the cartoons of gypsies you see. My first step is a blouse...but keeping with my love of embroidery, I wanted some on my new blouse!

I embroidered an amazing design along the neckline of the front of this blouse.  It took me a long time to finish the embroidery as it is pretty detailed...and there was A LOT! But, working on it at night while watching movies and taking it with my on trips helped me finally finish.  It was meant to be more of a texture and is a little bit heavier than I originally pictured but I love it!! Here is a pic (not the best) of the blouse and a close up of the embroidery.

The blouse is a raglan sleeve peasant top. Here it is folded up. You can see the texture of the embroidery.

And, here's a close up of the embroidery itself. Lots of work, but I love it!!
