Yay!! I CAN embroider

Very very very very pleased with myself, after researching, reading, thinking, rethinking and finally finding some time, I have learnt to embroider and applique.  So today, I made MYSELF a present, I love it, the kids are totally unimpressed, preferring to rub their snotty noses over me instead.

And here it is...............

mothers day!

Went over to my mum today and showed her the hearts id just finished, she was impressed! No mean feat for my mother, she is a very veeeery good seamstress and my grandfather a Tailor. ANYWAY! She cam up with making up some items for mothers day. So, im off on a sewing marathon again. Took some much better pics of the hearts, opinions would be appreciated.
