tea...or coffee towels

Another sublime stitching pattern. I found out that embroidering on waffle weave is not the easiest, but perservered anyway. 000_0200

First crochet project

I made this baby blanket for baby Will who has a star-themed bedroom. This was my first crochet project, but it was pretty easy. It's not perfect, but I still like how it turned out.000_0192

Gift for a graduating student

I used Jenny Hart's Sublime Stitching 'Stitch it Kit' templates to make this pillowcase that says 'Dreaming in Spanish' for one of my students who is graduating and going off to college. I found the motifs by searching for ancient Mexican motifs and just free hand drew them and transferred them onto the pillowcase before stitching them up. 000_0188
