thursday = embroidery

I’m happy today to be able to share a finished embroidery project that I’ve been itching to show but didn’t want to spoil the giving of it as a gift.

The girls are from this Japanese embroidery book {which was a gift from my real sister – hi Sue!}…


And of course, what would embroidery day be without the weekly transfer?!


I thought this little guy would be cute on a baby’s bib:

Who I couldn’t resist providing an alternative version of:



Tomorrow's Friday - yay!

{p.s. So glad so many of you enjoyed the coloring book images yesterday...if you do stitch any of them up please send me a link so I can see - thanks!}
