My Little Princess

Well, after embroidering a bicycle for my Dad, I have the hand sewing bug (ooh, sounds nasty!!). Francesca drew a rather beautiful princess yesterday and I can't keep all the pictures they draw (we have enough crap in our house already) but I like to find a place for special ones;


I have had to crop quite alot off this pic as I wrote mum and dad's french address on it by accident, der!

I copied the picture onto some heavy cotton (only fabric to hand) with a pencil;

Francesca had a good root in my bag of thread and chose the colours she will be;

I was really pleased with the progress I had made inbetween feeding mum's cats and visiting some friends and carrying a ton of bricks down stairs (don't ask) and making lunch and washing dishes and encouraging my poor tired husband in his handimanness.

Just before bed Francesca announced that the princess wasn't finished, she didn't have a picture on her dress! How silly of me not to have realised! So she drew another princess on her dress for me to sew tonight;

Off I go with thread in hand.................
