kick your feet up and stich a while

I love crocheting and making ornaments out of felt, I like sewing and spray painting, making paper chains and arranging flowers, but embroidery is my go to relaxing craft. There is something so peaceful about making little stitches, about picking out colors and about seeing an image come out of a simple swatch of white fabric.

This little lady is going to live on the craftroom/office wall, isn't she a doll. I don't know what kills me more the sleeping dog or the to cute mess of curly bangs!

This pattern is from the great blog doe-c-doe, a fabulous resource for quick little embroidery patterns. You can find her here. I'm really looking forward to doing this pattern next.
