little stitchers.

beatrice and mr. elliott participated in team tennis this summer. several of their friends were also playing, so as you can imagine, it was like a giant play date 4 times a week! so much fun!

the mammas, dads, and younger siblings had lots of time to sit and visit and, of course, cheer for our tennis stars! i had a stitching sampler that i was working on, and a couple of little friends were interested, so we got them started on their own. are they not adorable?



they each stitched up little fishies. so cute.


here is the sampler i worked on. it started as something to keep my hands busy. other than that, i had no plan for it.


if you haven't stitched in a while. give it a go! i have to warn you, however, it is an addicting craft.


i love freestyle stitching. no patterns. no worries.




once i finished, i decided to use it as the bib for an apron to have at school.


i used pink denim for the apron and added pom pom balls around the bottom. pom pom balls make everything fancier. :)

have a great weekend, friends!
we are off to a soccer tournament!!
go cyclones!
