When I was playing with my aforementioned air-erase pen, I drew up and stitched the below little number, with some bird patterns from the Sublime Stitching book I got for my birthday.


Let me know what you think! The birds are an iron on pattern, and the hearts and crosses are free hand. Since the pen would "air-erase" so quickly I pretty much had to sketch and stitch straight away. So it is a bit different to what I first drew, oh well.


Oh and I got some metallic thread, look how pretty. It was sewwww scratchy to stitch with. Next time I think I'll use less threads, which should give a flatter look.


I hung it up with my other 2 stitching projects, which looked ok...


... until I stepped back. The wall is still a bit bare.

So I think I am going to use the below photo as inspiration and just keep adding things. Still thinking about the pin-board too.
