Canary Yellow #8

Name: Greenling
Story: Asking for Roses
Colors: Canary Yellow #8 (It is the cry of a thousand sentinels, the echo from a thousand labyrinths; it is the lighthouse which cannot be hidden and the best evidence we can give of our dignity.)
Supplies and Styles: Miniature
Word Count: 70
Rating: G
Warnings: None.
Summary: Trying to kick myself back into productivity. Jaymie makes a Christmas present. Comments, criticism, and questions are all appreciated.


Six yards green fabric, cotton and satin, two shades.
Four rolls of thread; one new embroidery needle.
Two hours on the internet searching for tips on fixing embroidery attachments on a twenty-year-old machine.
The look of amused confusion on his father's face when he asked for help finding his mother's measurements.
Lace, pleats, ten days, fifty hours.
Not his best work, but it's done. So much more left to do.
