Yes, It's finally All About ME !!

Today is my day on the hop and I'm both excited and a bit nervous .... When I saw there was machine buttonhole/blanket stitching, I was more concerned that I didn't know how to do that than figuring out what "I" was going to look like.  I finally decided to go to the local bookstore and see if I could find a book on embroidery. (after all, I'm going to need to learn how, in order to participate in the Stitch Me Up  Blog Hop so why not practice on this?) Woo hoo, I found a book at a bargain $2. Yes, it's an OLD book, but there's lots of good stuff in it and things like embroidery stitches don't change much over the years.(I hope).  So I hand emboidered my "ME".

A little about my "ME",  She is a little CRAFTY. I designed her with blond hair since I'm blond with a sky blue background and sunny yellow border because that's how I see life most of the time. (Notice the "rose colored" glasses?  I have been accused of seeing life through rose colored glasses. Really there is nothing wrong with it, life's much more pleasant when you have a positive outlook). I decided on Crafty since that's what I do. Scrapbooking, Card making, Sewing, Quilting(just learning), Embroidery (again just learning), I've  dabbled in ceramics and candlemaking and other things.
I added some tiny yellow buttons for my pin heads as all my quilting pin heads are yellow. I just couldn't resist adding a few trinkets like the sewing machine, thimble, thread, scissors and ruler.

 

I haven't quilted her yet because I'm waiting. In a very short time my LQS is offering a beginners quilting class and I want to save her for after I know more than just what I have read on blogs about how to quilt. Then she is going in my sewing/craft room.

Be sure to visit the rest of the creative ladies today (if you missed any, the entire schedule is in my previous post).
