Notes

Embroidery inspired by a picture in a book I don’t own. :(

I used 6 strand embroidery floss and regular blank paper - I do NOT recommend this. Get water soluble embroidery stabilizer and use yarn to do the flowers. I’m no great shakes at embroidery as you can see, but I wish I had waited til I could get both the stabilizer and the various yarns in the colors I wanted. I know it would’ve improved the end result TREMENDOUSLY. However, they are warm and kinda cute and so hopefully, Jordyn will like them.

The little red dots are beads - I think they really added a lot to the overall look.

Unfortunately, my camera has gone AWOL, so all I have are cell phone pix. :(
