Not your thing? Then alter it!

All this "Poeness" got me thinking...

*dangerous thing thinking*

In the past I have collected/bought old sewing kits,

 not because I liked the image printed, but to use

the threads....

which left me with bits of pre printed Aida

like this one

*it virtual told me what to stitch....P9-3 could read as  POE*

So I found an image and printed it out to use as a guide...

 Stitching over a pre print is quite distracting...

 so dear Mr Poe looks a bit "squiffy" at the 

moment...

but the fun of "making up" your own pattern is

that you can keep altering it :D

Maybe I'll be done in time for his next anniversary lol

Enjoy XXX

Finally....

I have finished the cross-stitch panel I've been working on

all winter.

 To be fair I should have finished sooner, but I get

"SQUIRREL!!!"

if you know what I mean lol

 I'm  rather quite pleased that I caught the feel of the original bouquet

and that I managed to salvage a few petals/rosebuds/lavender/leaves

to place in the little initialled bag.

Now for some doll making YAAY!

This doll will be "Not Alice"

 I never made an Alice for my 

"Adventures of Hortense Hare"

because the story wasn't about Alice's adventures in their Wonderland

 So Cora and her flock/family will have to wait 

a little longer while I finish birthing

"Alicia NOT Alice"

*she's a bit of a rebel*

Enjoy :D XXX
