It's another bad hair day bookmark

Just finished the little bookmark and have temporarily put it on top of the book I am currently reading, which is "The Torn Birds" by Colleen McCullough. I remember reading that book years and years ago in a French translation and I just loved it. This time around I am reading it in its original version (English) and still having a ball.

Tomorrow I will be working on Gay Ann's Challenge Ornament, but for now I will take a break and perhaps read a little more in my book :-)

It's another bad hair day: Added a little border

I love visiting blogs as you just never know what wonderful ideas you will find and not long ago I was visiting Laura Perin's blog and she was talking about adding borders to your projects and I thought it was a wonderful idea as it really makes the project look more finished so when I finished stitching this project, I immediately thought of Laura and her blogging about borders and wanted to add one before I finish this as a bookmark. I only needed a little border so I did a row all around with one strand of black DMC using the backstitch. It really does make a difference, doesn't it? I will leave a little bit of canvas all around before I turn the fabric under and attach to some fabric for the back side, so I now need to go hunting for the fabric in my boxes :-(

Be right back!

It's another bad hair day

I wanted to make a little something for the son of a friend of mine and wasn't sure what until I saw this lovely dog designed by Claire Crompton and then I knew that I had to make it for him. Not long ago he just acquired the most beautiful dog, a big one who is called Marz. This little design looks a little bit like him, at least overall.

.

At first I was thinking of making this as an ornament but after thinking about it, I decided to make a little bookmark for him as it will be so much more useful and hopefully bring a smile on his face whenever he looks at it :-)

.

I will be right back with another photo once the bookmark has been done.

Almost forgot to mention that I found this lovely ornament on this site. They have lots of them, so you may also find something that you like.

Be right back!
