June 1st!

So to try and jump start my sewing, I embarked on a totally new project. Also because I have been totally messing up on the days because of the holiday I am declaring this Wordless Wednesday!

Whiney Wednesday

I wish I could say I was as happy as this little girl in the picture, not so. It is March 26 and it feels like January 7th! There is about an inch of snow on the ground and the wind is blowing 30 miles an hour!I am so over this winter....go away! Oops just saw some stray yellow threads on this, please ignore them.

This is the picture my granddaughter, Madison drew last Fall.

I took a nice piece of white fabric and traced the drawing onto it with my Frixion pen.

After a wobbly start, I was getting better.

I did take some creative license with the hair. I love the nose, a ?

I was too chicken to do the satin stitch on the lips.....

and the heart.

Overall I am pleased with my work. It has been a long time since I did any embroidery.

I think I will make some more from the other grandkids' drawings. Embroidery was one of those things I said I wasn't doing anymore......
