a little stitching

i mentioned in an earlier post how cute I though the elf patterns were on wee wonderfuls so last night I took a stab at doing one.

I got out my Jenny Hart Stitch-It Kit, did a little reading & dove right in on one of the tea towels included in the kit. I also had to go out & get dressmakers tracing paper to transfer the pattern to the towel. Matt made the patttern a little smaller (she's only 4 inches tall) for me which made some of the small details a little tougher but I think it came out pretty cute. I might have a new addiction.

  1. Over the weekend I bought myself a small cross stitch item, it has a small frame with it to put the finished item in so when I do get around to doing it it will be a tea cup with a holly leaf with berries on it. I am not much into sewing, so this may take me a while to do, but I love this little elf so it has inspired me :)

  4. Great job! I embroidered on some felted Christmas ornaments last week, and thoroughly enjoyed doing it again after a gazillion years.
