From Valma to Joey

Hello girls

Before the first parcels for the Halloween exchange start to arrive.... I have to show you what I did for Joey for the Blogversary exchange =D
Better too late than never no ?  hehehe
I chose See-saw mice, one of the last downloadable charts available on MS website 

A free theme...so Valma rhymed with mice of course =D
I made a little zipped pouch with those 2 little cute fellows , because they are cute aren't they ? =)

Can't wait to see all the beautiful pieces that are going to be made for our next exchange, and hope that my partner will enjoy what I'm preparing =D
Have fun my sweet friends
Big hugs from France

SAL #4 Puppy Love

It happened again! I finished one more puppy on our SAL and I forgot to post it here :p Sorry ladies! I've been thinking about our next exchange, I forgot I had this to post too =)

It's amazing how you can't even see the real color on my fabric.. it's water lily, photos really don't show it =/ Oh well, you'll have to visit me at my house and see the real thing ;) hehehehe

They were stitched on fennel dyed evenweave.

Take care,

Little Suzi a.k.a Little Kate

Hello everyone!

I´m new member of this blog and I´m very thankful for the admission. My name is Zuzana, I´m from Slovakia, Europe, also known as Suzi from blog Design by Suzi :-) I found embroideries by Margaret Sherry and I fall in love with it. It became my a little obsession. I chose for my introduction here this one. I know, I know, I re-did original... But it´s me... Suzi stitches a cat :-) (of course and another :o) ) I will do also the original picture in the future.

This picture is one of the callendar 2009 from CrossStitcher magazine and represents May.

More pictures are on my blog:

Hope you enjoy it!

Have a nice day :-)
