Working...

Working with craft felt

I saw a roll of colorful craft felt at the shop nearby. I had never worked with craft felt yet. Then...I had the idea to do a spelling garland for little Simon. It was harder than I imaged: cutting the letters, sewing around the edges...I got some critism afterwards: 1) It is an English alphabet, not a German one or Spanish one. 2) the sequence of the letters is from Z to A, not A to Z. Hmmm...damage is DONE...

More cross stitch

I bought some new books of cross stitich motifs. Now I have a pin cusion. It is so easy to lose the pins on the floor.... mine field for bare foot! P.S. I am the only one wearing house shoes...heeee...Now all my lovely pins will stay together. :D

Sashiko: kogin

I used normal DMC threads, 6 strands together. I am not satisfied. The floss thread is not as twisted as sashiko thread.
