Trey gave me 2 books for my birthday, Sublime Stitching & Doodle-Stitching. I wanted to learn something new and thought it would be fun to take up embroidery. So this is my very first piece of...randomness I guess you could say. I was going through the books and learning how to do all the crazy stitches. I had no idea there was such a plethera of options! The possibilities are endless! I'm surprised at how much fun it is. I feel like a grandma sometimes and Trey thinks it's funny how intense I am when I'm doing it. I get quite focused, in my "creative zone" if you will. So hope you enjoy my random collage. My favorite part is the little squirrel.
I think my next project will be these precious little forest creatures made out of felt. When I saw them in Doodle-Stitching it was love at first site. I think I will make a small one that we can hang from our rear view mirror. That was Trey's idea :).
I just think they are adorable! I think I will work up to doing a quilt or something fun like that...we'll see how it goes. I highly recommend this to anyone...although I think women might enjoy it a little more than men would. It's very relaxing.

Now you have created two happy little trees. You are so talented! That collage picture could be in the Garden of Eden or a family tree. Yes, doing handwork is relaxing and you are so creative, the possibilities are endless.
Super cute! I would love to learn some new stitches, the girls love the little animals.
This is what she does ALL the time...not just when Trey studies.
Cute! I totally want to get these books!
