Don't laugh

So my first venture into making something more useful for the shop, ended in failure. I'm trying to turn my flowers and stuff into fiber pendants. I have visions of embroidered oval pendants...almost cameo-like. And my first one...didn't turn out so great.



Soooo wonky. But it's a learning process! Can't expect it to turn out perfect on the first try. Next one I'll put timtex in the center. That should get rid of the wonkiness. Also, I'm not going to do the satin stitching on the sewing machine. It's too rough on the fabric! Doing it by hand is more time consuming but I feel like I have more control that way. But I'm happy with how the embroidery turned out! Such a cute little flower.

LOL... oh, sorry, you said not to laugh.

It's still cute, though. :P
