I admit it, I do have crafting ADD. I find myself with tons of extra time to get myself into lots of crafting trouble. I do love my summers!
I recently took a trip to Atlanta and went shopping in many of the fabulous vintage/antique stores. I found the most adorable Yo-Yo quilt. Of couse I bought it, and then thought to myself (dangerous territory here..I know) I could make these! So off on my quest to become a Yo-Yo maker. I am dreaming of Yo-Yo garlands, so I am now making myself one.
I have also been working on embroidering the notebook cover that I mentioned in my previous post. I am learning the stitching as I go along-I need lots of practice, but it is fun! On another note, my daughter who is learning how to needle felt made an adorable little pig- she is now making another for me because I fell in love with her first one!
So these are a few of the things I have been working on....crafting ADD....I love it!
Your embroidery looks great Kelly!
ReplyDeleteHave no fear of stiches - often the simplest of all, can have the best effect. If it helps any, I find if I layer a colour ie. use three different greens instead of one, the eye becomes less discerning of actual stitch perfection.
Have fun
Don't forget to post more pics!
Thanks for the advice! I will try that with multiple shades. Thanks for the kind words!
