Beachy Christmas Ornament Project Tips
Faux Hem Stitch Your Perforated Paper
Perforated paper makes all the difference when I cross stitch--I can see where to stitch!
Whether you're a fan for speed or convenience--or like me, because your eyes appreciate the holes, perforated paper is a great fit for lots of stitching projects. I especially like the new 18 ct. paper from Wichelt. Two strands of floss cover the surface completely so holes disappear in a design area (see the banner below), and in unstitched areas, the tiny holes provide interesting texture, and aren't distracting at all. I also love that I can fit curves into a small space--script writing is so readable!
Be Creative: Busy Bee Pincushion
Go Where Your Wings Take You
We delight in putting together easy projects that are clever and unique. Nothing makes that more fun than having a brand new embellishment. The Busy Bee Pincushion combines all our favorite materials AND uses the new bumblebee wings.
After years of creating with handmade buttons and pins, the bumblebee wings gave us a new perspective. They're pins, but that's not the first thing you see--instead, you see wings.
