Cute! I love her running stitch in a contrasting thread! I'm wearing it on my jacket for fall. My mascot books are all in Japanese, but we aren't intimidated!
A few weeks ago I helped her make this elephant as a gift for a little sister of her close friend:
The little girl reports that she sleeps with her little blue elephant every night.
Here is the creator with her creation:
My husband and son got me some Gingher embroidery scissors and water soluble transfer pens. Husband has learned to go into JoAnns and just ask the ladies for help. He says he is totally unable to navigate the fabric, which I completely understand.
Gingher scissors are expensive, but they do seem like they are touched by a heavenly enchantment to cut fabric beautifully. I also have a nice spring green LeCrueset enamel stock pot! Yay for soup and stew!
happy birthday.... your daughter did a wonderful job on your little mascot. I'm sure you will wear it with pride! ... and you have a husband who shops at Joann's... what a treasure!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter is definitely following in your footsteps. She does a lovely job for one of such tender years. I know you are proud of her.
I also have a husband who will go in a craft store. He works near a Hobby Lobby, and he has volunteered on several occasions to pick up things for me in order to save a trip. He also has learned to simply ask a clerk for assistance.
Your daughter did a great job! It always does my heart good to see a child following in their mother's footsteps by sewing or doing other handwork!
