~ Small Stitches ~

Good Morning Friends & Folk ~

and Tuesday it is once again.

... a little cooler this morning,

 so hoping it will begin to stay that way.

I've been stitching on this little owl and moon embroidery 

in-between larger projects for upcoming shows and events;

I'm working with Gentle Art Simply Wool threads and love them!

they have just the right amount of coarseness to them {for me}.

not too 'hairy' but you can tell it's wool justthesame.

satin stitches become feathers and leaves,

french knots become tiny berries ~

even smaller cross stitches become a smattering of stars...

straight stitch branches and a chain stitch scroll underneath it all...

{no, you do not see any bullion stitch in there do you}.

'nuff said about them!

can you see the slight blush on Mr. Moon's cheek?

that is from using the variegated wool thread from the Gentle Art...

{I have the color written down in my book, if anyone wants to know exactly what is it}

I'm using a scrap of nubby linen to stitch on, 

and my hoop is only 4" in diameter...

so this is a small piece ~ my favorite!

I'm pleased with it, 

and I think Miss Roxy approves as well ~
