Embroidery

What I've been doing this weekend:

Embroidery! I really just got started on this piece.  I spent most of yesterday running errands, then I traced my designs onto my fabric.

Here's my stash:

I got the cute designs (and helpful tips) from the book

Doodle Stitching: Fresh & Fun Embroidery for Beginners by Amiee Ray






 and





Doodle Stitching: The Motif Collection: 400+ Easy Embroidery Designs by Amiee Ray




The second book comes with a CD you can print and adjust the motifs from. So you could create your own little embroidered scene or just piece together different motifs! They both have many projects in them, although I haven't yet made one. :)



Off to more embroidering!
