Stitchn' Til Spring

I found this crime scene this morning in the dining room just as I was about to drink the first cup of tea... looked down and laughed out loud. The kids do the most hilarious things sometimes! Makes me smile.

I just finished this super cute folk art embroidery designed by Kathy Schmitz. It turned out great and I'm planning on framing it. She is a Portland, OR based artist and I found her patterns at The Pine Needle in Lake Oswego. I'm on to the next one now... will report when finished :)

Fairy of Good Housework

Here is some punch embroidery I started a while back and I need to get back to it and finish! It's a fun way to embroider with DMC floss. You can buy kits but, I got bored with that and thought I'd just draw on a high thread count cotton. I think I'll just frame this or maybe make a pillow? Not sure yet!
