wednesday = thursday = embroidery

{my mom & sister arrive this afternoon - yay! - so I'm going to be taking off the rest of the week to eat, drink & be thankful with them...but I didn't want to skip my weekly embroidery post, so we're going to pretend it's thursday.}

I've actually been pretty productive lately so I have another finished project to share with you:


the printed painting came from the thrift store & the home sweet home from flickr. I sized & adjusted the design on the computer to fit, printed & taped it together then used {thrifted} carbon paper to transfer the design onto the back of the cardboard:


next I used a cordless drill to make the holes & yarn to do the cross-stitch:


I'm really happy with the way it came out & might have to do some more in the future...black friday I'll probably be at the thrift store looking for more artwork :)

and for this week's embroidery transfer - a bird with a weapon just seemed fitting:


happy stitching & happy thanksgiving!!
