Hand embroidered bag

I have been wanting to stitch this one up for a while now. I just didn't have anything that it would look good on. But I did some digging in my craft closet and found a bag that it would look beautiful on.



My hubby had drawn this beauty a little while ago and I fell in love with it. In fact I love all the pretty girls that he draws. They seem to have personalities.

I'm very proud of my stitching on the hair. I've been having problems with the stem stitch. I know its one of the easier stitches, but my brain had a hard time grasping the concept.
I'm not sure if I want to add some embellishments around it or what not. I guess if I did, I can always add them later.


And I hope to stitch up more of his lovelies.

Kick Ass Book!

I know the the seasoned hand embroiders think this book is a little too beginner. But that's perfect for me!! I AM a beginner! I LOVE this book. I saw it on Amazon and put it on my Wish List. And lucky for me, my sister saw it there and bought it for me for christmas. She rocks!

I've done a couple of little projects so far. I work with a lot of felt shapes, so I have loads of stencils that I have made over the years, and they are perfect for embroidery.


I had a lot of fun whipping this little puppy up. I currently working on more projects that I do want to put up on my Etsy shop along with this one.
Can't wait!
