back to basics

Today, in between household chores and hanging out with the kids, I think I'm going to start an embroidery sampler, so that I can practice all of the stitches.

I finished a very simple piece this morning, but it's not quite as good as I wanted it to be, so yeah, a sampler to build my skills and play with color and technique.

I'll post it when I'm done. I've never done one of those follow the instructions embroidery pattern dealies either, I have some vintage transfers, so maybe I'll try that too.
