| Learning to do embroidery! |
 |
| I have been working on these for a while but finished them this month! |
 |
| Perfect??? NO, but I am learning a lot! I found these patterns in Sweet & Simple Embroidery by Gooseberry Patch. I plan on putting these in frames just like it shows in this book. |
 |
| Chicken Scratch. This pattern came out of the book More Chicken Scratch & Candlewicking by Pegasus Originals. I did add the leaves on the trees and the grass! I have been working on this off and on but it is finished now. It was so much fun. For more info on chicken scratch you can go Here! |
 |
| And now there are 2 Chrysanthemum Dish cloths!!!! I showed you the one on the left that I learned in my crochet class the other day! I wanted to try to do one on my own and I did it!!! It's not perfect either but I already have another one started so I can learn more! |
 |
| Today I decided to find a pattern for baby booties. I wasn't sure I could do it but I did! I didn't do it right but I will take the pattern when I go to my crochet class and get Polly (my teacher) to show me what I did wrong. I think I may even have them wrong side out but I am still so proud of them! |
 |
This little matching hat is for a newborn baby. Polly (my crochet teacher) wants us to learn how to read patterns so I am so excited that I did this all by myself! I think she will be proud of me for practicing!! |
 |
| Isn't this so cute? I didn't do the flower but I do want to try it. I already had it in some of my things. There is more to go with this little newborn set and I am so excited to learn how to make it all!!! TODAY I AM THANKFUL FOR......my encouragers! I am linking up to the following people who do encourage me all the time! Allie with Christmas Through The Year! Peg & Kris with One Project A Month! Heidi & Bobbi with Friday Night Sew In! Amy with Sew & Tell! And every blogger who leaves me comments and shares with me! Thank you all! |

Val...you are amazing me!! You set your mind to something and YOU DO IT! Good for you! I am very proud of you.
I love the booties and the bonnet. So very sweet. I wonder who you had in mind for them? And the dish cloths....they are so pretty but useful! And you did them, too!!!
And I don't want to forget to mention the embroidery!!! You have done a wonderful job on them also. They will be so nice as small pictures hanging together. Nice!
Well, I had better let you go ...so you can get back to all of the things you are making. Thanks for showing us.
