my girls love to stitch and quite often when i am stitching something they ask to do their own. when middle child ~Mia~ was home from school she ask me to sketch her a mouse so that she could stitch around it.
she does quite a god job for a 5 year old. she normally does all the stitching then i blanket stitch it into whatever she wants. i can add a ribbon so it can be hung or we put lavender inside to make it smell sweet and other times we leave one end open so that it can hold treasures. this one just became a softie, i think she is going to give it to her best friend.
just backed it with brown felt and blanket stitched it together.
i added a little black bead for a nose...
here it is outside its new home :)
i have only taught her running stitch, one day i will teach her back stitch and then blanket then she can conquer the world one stitch at a time (cue sinister laughter)
back with a few more peeks at my friendship stitching
