My Faux Stitching

Good morning....Afternoon...Evening.....

We have a new challenge over at 


the theme is 

"Stitching"

As always we have sketch for you to play along with if you don't want to play the theme

Remember you can use the sketch or theme or both.

I decided for my stitching yo use the image Plush Couch. I thought this to be perfect for our stitching theme. Unfortunately, I do not have a sewing machine. I have a little handheld something or another that barely works at times and is battery operated. So I just drew my stitches with a white pen. I really am feeling darker tones of Valentines right now. I don't know why considering I am ready for summer and bright colors. 


I hope you get a chance to play with us. I always love seeing everyones different ideas of stitching. Hand stitching well your just plain outright crazy or have a little more time on your hands. I can't really have too many needles out around my little one... if I did I guess I would have more of my cross stitches done. 


I colored the image with copics and pencils. I really like how I colored the floor but coloring furniture was a new on for me. My sentiment is from LOTV, and my buttons are my stash. The papers are Recollections (A cheaper version of MME).

If you get a chance to play please do and stop by to see what else the team has created.

also..... 

I have a New Year candy to give out.

All you have to do is 
  • I would love for you to share this with all your followers and friends but you do not have to post this on your side bar if you do not want to.

The candy is a Pixie Cottage image called 

Simply the Best 


It is an unmounted stamp in deep etched red rubber and measures about 3.75"x3.25"



The winner will be announced on January 25th.

Hi Shanna! Love the "upholstery" on your sofa (grin). I have the Janome Sew Mini available at Hancock Fabrics that I use only for crafting - inexpensive and works great on paper.
