thursday = embroidery

happy embroidery day!

now don't fall off your chair...but guess what? I've got a finished project to share!

I call it "you're a doll":







I used an image from one of my vintage coloring books and the lid to one of Michaels wooden boxes. the patterned paper is scenic route from the scrapbooking store.

and to continue the cute girl {& boys} theme, here's a tri-chem pattern for you:


bye!
