I finally finished embroidering my patch for this patch swap. I love embroidery but it's been so long and the last time I designed my own, they were monograms... which were easy. I was quite rusty to start but got the hang of it in no time. This one is 'done' but I may do some changes to it before I send it away. Since I can't drop it in the mail until monday I'm going to start on another similar one- but it's going to be a dragon fly.
This is one of those addictive crafts like knitting. You keep telling yourself, "Okay, I'll clean *fill in the blank* after I'm done this last row of stitches... okay this is the last row... okay only two more rows and I'm sooo done...". What is up with that??? I wish I could get that groove on when doing laundry. Can you imagine? "Okay I'll go to bed when I've folded this last pile of shirts... okay, maybe just a few more jeans... okay I'll just put all these away and I'll hit the sack...".
Yah. Right. Not in this reality, or any other I'm afraid.
Okay, I need to hit the sack- but wanted to share this with ya'll before I did.
Enjoy,
~jen

The ladybug is beautiful...nicely done. As for the birthday candles on my daughter's birthday cake we bought the candles at Walmart.

Jenn,
That patch is so good you could sell it as a logo Like-- Say-- " My ladybug Coffee Co." or something catchy..you do good artwork, Paige and Noly are lucky to have such a good teacher.

Suz, i send my patch to Faun (red button tree) and she collects everyones patches and then sends a different one back to all the participants. If I send two patches to her she will send me back two different patches. This is the first time I've ever done this, thought it would be fun!

Love it! I don't really understand the concept of the swap though. Do you have to add on to the one that gets sent to you and then send it back? or do you just get to keep it?

That is too cute!

Cute Patch! If anything, I'd add color to the leaves! Otherwise I think it's done :)
How long did that one patch take? How big is it?
