I couldn't stand not trying something new! With Staci and Becky's encouragement I stitched up a little gift for my friend in France. This design is Tiny Toad a freebie by The Cricket Collection. I used Staci's instructions to create the floss ring tag. It was super easy to do, although...I do recommend a bit of practice attaching the eyelets; my first couple were pretty sad!
This is a gift, but it hasn't been mailed yet. I'll go to the post office with it after work tomorrow. I don't mind if my friend happens to see it before is arrives but I don't think she reads my blog.

ReplyDeleteHOW DARLING IS THAT FROG!?!?! Oh my gosh he's so cute! YES I was shouting. lol Very well stitched! He looks like our tree frog, only a li'l plumper...and of course yours has a bow tie. I don't think ours would sit still long enough for one of those. : snicker :
