You got this

Towards the end of last year Paige Taylor Evans had a group of 20 stitch files available for purchase.  I've often done stitching on my pages but her files took stitching to the next level. 

When I saw "You got this" file stitched by Kelly Daye, I was so impressed that I bought the set of files, thinking I might only use one or two!  Ha!  It's addictive; stitching in front of the TV.

I must confess to making a hot mess the first time I tried the chain stitch, but determined to succeed, I unpicked it all several times, until I was happy with the result.

I used Paige Taylor Evans "Bungalow Lane" collection, because it suited her Tutu perfectly. The threads are all from DMC.

 It's not the world's greatest photo, but about the sense of achievement this little four year old felt, when she learnt to swing across the monkey bars.

Thanks for calling in to say G'day and take care.

Christmas Card for Mod Squad Challenge Blog

 Another day, another post!   I know, really unusual for me but I wanted to try another new die and make my very first Christmas card for 2021

Modsquad Challenge Blog

The challenge was to use a Poinsettia on the card.

I love these flowers as they remind me of my Mother.

I used a Bazzil Basics card stock for the background. 

The Poinsettia was created with a Sizzix Thinlits die 665342

and DCWV Very Merry Mat Stack.

The words dies are from The Craft Barn.

How are your Christmas Cards coming along?
