I was reading my Nordic Needle Newsletter on Monday and saw a mention to embroidery on paper. I checked out the books and they look interesting but are fairly expensive so I did a little search on the web and found a web site with some free patterns to try. This is what I came up with this afternoon. The body on the butterfly is little wooden beads. I think they are rather cute. They were fun to make but hard on my hands. I didn't require anything special to do them either. I just used a large quilting pin for the pricking, scrapbook card stock, embroidery floss and the cards are for pictures and I got them after Christmas last year so I already had them! Something different to distract me anyway! :-) Tomorrow it is back to my regular sewing. I am almost finished a butterfly pattern from My Aunt's Attic that is an exchange square on the Counting Our Blessings Board. After that it is back to my shamrock Sampler so I can get that out of the way and get to my nephew's wedding sampler. Dan and Chelsea are getting married December 15 so I don't have a lot of time.
