Here is a quick little update on my embroidery project…
I made a little pillow using the embroidery work and pieced together pieces of a border from stash fabric. I used some crochet trim for pillow ties.

Loving fall right now!

a little fairy world. This post reminded me of the time when my older daughter taught her little sister how to build a fairy house.
