Irina Embroidering



Irina really liked this. And she was quite good at it. I was surprised she did so well for her first time. I drew an outline of a cat and she mostly followed it. She's using a blunt needle that I have no idea where it came from but am sure glad we have it (and that I knew where it was) and some pink embroidery floss (doubled) on linen. Projects like this keep Irina from, well... wreaking havoc. I need a stash of them that I can bring out at a moment's notice.

Do you have The Creative Family? There's lots of ideas in there that might be good for Irina. I don't have her new book yet but it's in my Amazon shopping cart waiting for me to get up the nerve to actually USE my gift card.

I do! I think my problem is more that I need to organize myself to get projects ready and waiting for her. I've got lots of ideas.

I have Handmade Home too. I treated myself and pre-ordered it so that I got it the day it came out. It's very good. I highly recommend it. Lots of projects I want to do.
