This is fun

and easier than i had expected. I completed my first tea towel but forget to take pics before i gifted it. Here is my progress on the second tea towel. Please pardon the wrinkles.





It's from my Stitch-it Kit by the Sublime Stitcher Jenny Hart. The kit is great - came with a basic collection of everything you need to get going. I have purchased more floss in muted colors for this towel.

This is what it looks like after ironing from a transfer before stitching anything on it. Probably kinda hard to see here, but i purposely ironed them lightly so there's less chance of showing under the floss.



Mr. Biddles was relaxing after watching the birds intently for a while.




I like this shot - he was just noticing the dangly cord on my camera. He's kinda like "barooo?"

I'm moving to Japan

I just realized i did not list the first Japanese Mag i received. It's Stitch "Idees" Volume 5 (Cafe Sister Heartwarming Life Series). ISBN978-4-529-04418-9

Prepare yourself for some seriously cute craftivity. These are just a handful of the items in this mag.

I love these cute little panda purses.

This delicate pink purse makes me weak at the knees.

Sweet bibs.

Very decorative and detailed stitches on these bags.

Stitching patterns inserted in the middle. A LOT of them. They look very clear and cute.

Adorable bag. I love the detail. Little girl even has a shadow.

Little girl and bunny pillow.

Lovely stitching detail.

I LOVE these critters! I want to know what they are saying!

Adorable.

These miniature jewelry items really blow me away.

They even designed the jewelry pouch to be a larger picture of the small jewelry items. Egads! Does it get any more charming than this???!!

Sweet and lovely.

Darling stitched buttons and purse.

The bunny is cute, but check out the hairpiece on the piggy!

I LOVE THIS!

The pattern instructions look clear. In Japanese of course, so we'll see how it goes.

Can you stand it? Too cute! Baaa!

Happy little people with flowers.

Cute apron. I like the lack of depth perception.
