Pimp Cake

Last week I received a surprise in the mail from my friend Floresita. She sent me one of the 1st edition Pimp Stitch kits, totally making my day.

All of the patterns are oh so cute, but I knew right away I wanted to stitch that little cupcake! I am such a sucker for cute baked goods. *swoon*

I decided to make a little wall hanging for Darcy's room, so I grabbed a 4" wooden hoop, and got to work. Isn't she sweet?

I added the frosting details and used variegated thread because I'm fancy like that. This was a fast and easy project, and I think I might make a few more as party favors for Darcy's birthday in October.

Good news and bad news. Let's do the bad news first: it looks like Pimp Stitch is all sold out of this 1st edition kit. Rats!

Good news: they have the cutest little HOLIDAY kits available now! Eee! Gimme, gimme!

Pear Girl

I finished Pear Girl last night. I adore the design, but I'm not sure I'm crazy about the colors. What do you think?

Apple Girl

Here's a little something I embroidered yesterday afternoon.

The pattern is from one of my Japanese embroidery books, and I just love her. There are actually 2 other girls with fruit shaped heads that I'm embroidering as well. I will share them as they are completed.

I can't decide if I want to put the girls in frames, or in wooden embroidery hoops. Any suggestions?

Vintage Kitten Embroidery Pattern

Thanks to everyone for such nice comments on the onesies last week. It seems a lot of you are fans of the kitten, so I wanted to share the pattern with you.

Just click the image to print or download. Let me know if you use the pattern, as I'd love to see what you make!
