Little Crafters

So I stumbled upon this adorable little book at the library (Doodle Stitching by Aimee Ray) while scouring the shelves for ever more knitting pattern books (obsessed much?) and it reminded me of the big bag of embroidery thread I picked up at the thrift store ages ago for a quarter, or some other ridiculously low amount. I said "Wheee!" and checked it out and brought it home, along with the necessary accoutrement of needle work (things like needles, for example) and sat down with the children. I sent them ahead to pave the way to embroidered bliss, brave crafting soldiers that they are, and they triumphed indeed, overcoming pricked fingers and thighs.






Photos of finished works to come! Also, my own attempt at the art.
