Floral Embroidery Hoop Art on Mesh

This post was originally published in July 2017 and updated as of June 2022. When summer comes around, sometimes I get in a crafting slump since we spend so much time outdoors splash-padding and ice cream truck-ing, leaving less time to spend an afternoon in the craft room. However, I have found that textile crafts...

    This is so sweet. Cute face and lovely
    flowers. I love the mesh because it has
    exact places to put stitches.
    That’s why I liked needlepoint.
    If I tried to stitch free-hand some stitches
    were too long, some too short, just a mess.
    I don’t do Instagram so I won’t be able to enter.
    I want to try all of the new products (new to
    me – been a long time since I was in the
    fabric section)
    thanks for sharing.ReplyCancel

DIY Geometric Succulent Planters

    DIY Graphic Slingshots for Kids

It can be the best and the worst...
