The stitching bug

I've been bitten by the stitching bug... I declared at the start of the year that I wanted to learn embroidery. I have never done it before and the only experience I have of it is my Mum doing some cross stitch and embroidery when I was about 5. I don't think she has done any since.

I picked up some kits on Etsy and then I spotted some more...

And well now I have many kits to choose from and I am just loving the differences in all of them!

I received these in the mail yesterday

 And whilst I haven't finished the giraffe yet, I couldn't resist these little notebooks so I cracked them open last night and made a start on them. They should both be finished this afternoon..

Stay tuned!
