i decided to make two hand-stitched plush dolls.
the first one:
...went home to two (soon to be three) of my favorite people, del and ryan, who are expecting a baby boy! can't wait to meet him!
the second one:
i added french knots (i think this is my favorite) to indicate whiskers, i learned how to do this from purl bee's tutorial. most of the embroidery is done with a backstitch.
...this one went to my lil' man, dominic, who gives the bunny big hugs and sloppy kisses!
have a very happy sunday!
xo, carla
