Doodle Stitching Away...

So...I received my Doodle Stitching book, and I really like it! It gives really good pictures and explanations of the different stitches and their uses. The projects inside were all very inspiring as well. I give it a thumbs up:)


Here is what I have been stitching up:






The pictures show the back of a denim jacket (I plan on giving away as a gift). I got the idea to embroider the back of a denim jacket a while back after reading a post on casserole blog. Also, the design on my jacket was inspired by a free embroidery pattern that I found on Andrea Zuill's blog. There are so many inspiring blogs out there! Thanks for all of the great ideas!

New Books!

I am so excited about the new books that I just ordered! I had a $25 gift certificate for amazon....and wasn't sure what to get. Then, last night, I read amazing mae's post about a book called Printing by Hand by Lena Corwin, and I had to have it! I also bought Doodle Stitching by Aimee Ray to get my total up to $25.00. Whoo...hooo.... I am going to have so much fun:)
