Finished!

Months ago I began an embroidery project.
I love Sun Bonnet Sue. I love embroidery.
I found a pattern for Bonnie Bonnet, which is Sun Bonnet Sue under a different name.
It was an iron on pattern. I like those because I can put them on anything. This one being the first I have done in years (I think I was pregnant with my now 24 year old son last time....) I chose to try her on a piece of scrap linen. That way I can figure out what to do with her later.

Well I finished her on Sunday. I was resting on Sunday it had been a hard week for me. We watched football (congrats to Saints and Colts! I really am looking forward to this superbowl. Though I like both teams so am not sure yet who I will root for) And I finished her.

Now, I changed my mind on colors a few times, and ripped out everything and began again (I almost felt like old Finnigan). The thread knotted a few times, more ripping tying off and beginning.
Finally she is done. She looks like a beginner, and since I began her so many times I guess that is no real shock.

Anyway with out further meandering adieux here is Bonnie:
And so begins my new learning experience, needle work. Not like knitting and sewing but stitching for the sake of stitching...
