After a few weeks busily stitching away at lunchtimes, I have now finished all of my embroidery hoops ready for the craft fair! They have been neatened and had their ribbon loops attached and are now ready to be priced and packed away ready for the fair in a couple of months time.
I used beading needles to attach the tiny pewter beads and sequins as they're thin enough to bend around small spaces.
My favourite is definitely the tiny 'Let it snow' snowflake with its sparkly sequins and beads, and I will look forward to adding more beads and sparkly threads to more of my designs.
I finished my little robin by adding a wooden heart button and stitching his eye with a single strand of black thread. I have't done anything as detailed as an eye before, but it was definitely a case of the thinner the thread the better.
I now have four different sized pieces ready to go, and hopefully sitting alongside my white frames pieces, they'll show the range and development of what I have been working on this year.
