Please Don't Eat the Paste

Hey there, Stitchy Peeps!

I finished what I started last night:



Well, mostly finished what I started. I still have to sew this into a pillow. Hopefully I won't get lazy sidetracked and put it off too long.

This was a quick, fun stitch. Very fun. The only problem I encountered was with my stupid needle. Oh, how I hate stitching with new needles. The one I used last night was slippery and didn't want to cooperate. It made my thumb hurt! Stupid needle. I finally wised up when I was 99.9% done with the stitching and ditched my stupid embroidery needle for a well-worn cross stitch needle.

Anywho...

Here are some more pics!









I've never used such a bold color for embroidery before! I think it works. I find myself looking at new colors, patterns, and types of material lately and wondering how embroidery will adapt to them. I am, for the most part, a gal who uses plain muslin for everything. It's fun to break outta that mold every once in a while. ;)

(Don't forget, if you want this pattern, go here and follow the instructions for how to obtain it.)

Well, that's it for now, my lovelies! I have some cool stuff that I will be working on soon, so stayed tuned for more stitchy goodness. I will have some cool pics to share with you. Until then...

Happy Stitching!
