While I am still working on my Olla or water jar, I thought of having a little fun and showing you my very first silk ribbon embroidery project that I did way way way back.
.
First funny thing is that this is an "M" and there is no "M" in either my husband or my own name, so why did I end up choosing to make an "M" instead of a "P" or an "R"? Seems like a reasonable question, right? Well the woman who showed us how to do silk ribbon embroidery told me that I would learn more if I did an "M" than doing a "P". So, guess what? I started thinking how I could justify to myself doing an "M" and I came up with a few ideas like "M" for Mrs or "M" for Marie which all catholic born little girl automatically gets when they are baptised, so with these two "M"s I managed to justify to myself that it was perfectly allright to have a towel with an "M" initial. Each time I look at that towel, a smile creeps in.
.
I thought that my "M" looked pretty good at the time. Now, I am not so sure, but it does hold funny memories and that makes it special :-)
.
Now, back to Terra Rosa. Hope to be able to post a photograph of the water jar sometimes tomorrow.
