For Christmas this year, I decided to try embroidery.
I had never done it before, but had a feeling I would like
it! I did a couple of quick practice projects, but pretty
much just threw myself right in. For Mer and Pete, I embroidered
renditions of their kitties, Buster, Ed and Lily! Then, for
Mom I did an applique/embroidery field of horses. The kind
that I've always drawn that she loves. I had a lot of fun
making these projects, and am proud of the way they turned
out! I underestimated the amount of time they would take
to complete, though, so for the last couple of weeks before
Christmas, I was up until all hours of the night, putting
in 5-8 hour nights of embroidery. Eek! But it was worth it!
Here are the finished projects:
