Daria's b-day present

I can finally show off my friend Daria's b-day present since I gave it to her yesterday. She loves Day of the Dead stuff & missed out on a sweater with embroidered skulls at Lucky because I told her too late. So, I embroidered one on a sweatshirt for her. (you may have seen my practice piece for it on here)

This was my first non-sample embroidery & I'm pretty happy with it. Plus it was on stretchy fabric which is a little trickier.

I'm not working on another embroidered present that I can't show & of course the never ending wedding blanket, its to the point now where it almost covers my toes while I knit it.
Yesterday we went bowling for Daria's birthday & it was also our friend Andrew's so I have fun making cupcakes celebrating them.
