Stitch Love preview!

Hi all! Recently the lovely Mollie Johanson of Wild Olive was kind enough to send me a copy of her new book Stitch Love: Sweet Creatures Big and Small.

It is pure adorable-ness.

Have a cup of coffee, tea, or the brew of your choice and take a quick peek at it with me this morning! :)

Even the dedication is wonderful.

How gorgeous is this butterfly project? You'll see beautiful photography like this throughout!

I haven't said eep! lately - but this pup is eep-worthy. :)

Furoshiki cloth? I don't know what that is. But I want to make one!

Possum, you are so much cuter than the critters that steal my cat's food.

Hello Yeti, I love you.

There are pages and pages of critters beautifully stitched by Mollie on linen - it's such a perfect way to get inspired!

Aww, shucks, thanks for the shout-out, Mollie!

In short, if you love cute, small projects that are quick to stitch, you'll be happy to have this little gem in your library. Thanks again Mollie, for the preview of Stitch Love: Sweet Creatures Big and Small and thanks all, for joining me! :)

Stitch Love Valentine Blog Hop: Silly Skunk!

Hello all - thanks to a lovely Valentine blog hop by Mollie Johanson, in celebration of her new book Stitch Love: Sweet Creatures Big and Small, I'd like to introduce you to a free Silly Skunk pattern!



I used felt for my skunk, and some bits of Mountain Crewel Wool and vintage red DMC floss. A quick stitch, and a perfect quick Valentine hoop for a friend. :)



I also put the skunk into a few little Valentines for my friends, and came up with the skunkiest puns I could think of. Groanworthy, but fun! :)
