Hummingbird Clock

Well, I finally started work on the new project. I sat down on Friday afternoon with my sketch pad and pencil. For me the design stage is one of the most fun parts of the process. This is where I get to play around with different ideas. I draw all of my ideas on paper and then pick out the one idea that I like the best. The other ideas I stash away for possible future projects. I have learned that no matter how bad I think an idea may be, it still may have some value when planning other projects.


The idea or pattern for this clock will be a circular design. What I am planning to do is to start with a circle and then work hummingbirds and flowers into it. As I posted before, I plan to use the same colors to match with the counted cross stitch piece my Mother-in-law did for us. The clock will be on a shelf below the picture my Mother-in-law did.

I do realize that it may be hard to understand what my pattern for this clock looks like. So, I hope to take pictures of the process as I go. The only problem is that the camera is from my wife's school. So I am at the mercy of when she can bring it home. Bear with me on this. It may be some time before I can take a picture of each step in the process!

Here's to dust on the shop floor!!
