Embroidery

My newest passion is embroidery. I stumbled across the book Doodle-Stitching: Fresh & Fun Embroidery for Beginners by Aimee Ray and entered the world of embroidery. I never knew it would be so fun or easy. I always enjoy finding a new craft that keeps my hands busy, but relaxes my mind.
My first real project was one of Aimee's owls. I enjoyed making it so much, I made 2 more and gave them as gifts. I am already thinking of some alterations that I can make to "make it my own".
