Little bit of stitching..

My mum shared a pattern with me to make little felt mice. Before I can assemble and stuff my mouse, I needed to embroider the back and ear pieces. I have used ribbon embroidery, bullion roses and chain stitch. I have finished it off with some seed beads for a tiny bit of bling (every mouse needs a bit of bling). I really enjoyed playing around with the stitches.

I will post the finished images soon...

Crazy Stitching

I spent a lovely day today with my very talented Mum. She made a crazy patchwork square and taught me how to embellish the square with stitches. I used to do a lot of cross stitch when I was a lot younger and enjoyed it. Now it's great to pick up a needle and embroidery floss to try some different stitches.
