Thread and Elves

I actually picked up a needle this last week!!  I was mending a pair of leggin's for Meg.  I will have to take a pic of her wearing them...

This is my elf on a shelf....I made him quite a few years ago.  I embroidered the design on the blanket too, back when my first daughter was a child!  I made it for her dolls that she never played with.  She preferred hotwheels.   But she was always a GIRL!!

My 2 elves.  Don't ask me why this pic is upside down....operator error most likely.  

I did the crossstitch too.  Back long ago, one of the magazines had contests all the time, so to help keep some sanity and creativity, I entered almost every one of them!  Never won, but that's ok.

Funny...if you go to the link of the magazine...I made several of the shells pictured on the front!
