And I invited my online friend to my house next Monday, so I will give this to her as a small present.
(A photos is a bit blurry, though...)
I stitched on 28ct linen to fit to the tape measure itself, so the stitched piece shows it a bit rough, though...
This is a freebie © A Word (Japanese blog), isn't it very pretty?!
I added red x green ribbon around the edge and also added strawberry charm the end of the tape!
Here is a photo of backing fabric which I used for this "Darumachan", I thought that this is perfect for this stitched piece.I used cardboard for inside of this doll's head part, and added cotton inside.
To finish this off was a bit difficult, but it was fun!
I hope my friend will like it!
Here is my Grass Dog, a photo was taken on 7th of June.Oh no, he is funny, I should cut his hair soon!
I'm thinking a lot how to cut his hair, uhmmm...
I also need to trim his mustache (it's his roots)!
Actually, day by day his face become moldy, and I have to wipe them off... ('~';)
Yes, he is a dirty man! lol
I found some kinds of these funny grass plants online, and am very interested in them!
But I have hedgehog one, too, so would try it first, after this Grass Dog!
Next time, I will be able to show you his (this grass dog) new hair style!
Please look forward to seeing him!
