One of the things that I'm most excited about in my new book is embroidery! I have all of these inspirations and ideas in my head, but I didn't quite know how to execute them. Now, I have a few options and I am SOOOOO excited! I jumped in last night and this morning to try some out. This pictures shows both attempts.
On the far right, you'll see a half-butterfly (I didn't plan my yarn amount properly) and a flower. Both of these were done completely free, no pattern, no nothing. On the left is the butterfly I did today. I drew the butterfly on wax paper, which I laid on the crochet background, and stitched through. It was relatively easy to pull the wax paper off the project once I was done.
Granted, I need a lot of work, especially with even stitch lengths, etc....but for a first go, I don't think it's all that bad. :)
I'm back! :)
Now that life has settled down, I definitely plan on keeping up with this blog, too! I just got a new book today and I am SUPER excited about it!!!!! I have a project in mind and will post pictures once it's complete (and to my liking :)).
ETA: This is what I'm most excited about in my new book! (though there are MANY things that I love :))
