I Explore To Be Creative

I did this for my Sil..4 yrs back :) When i was going through my album i found this and decided to put it up. Both of us had gone out shopping and had bought this sheet but we could not find a matching pillow cover. So, we went and bought a plain cover and i traced the picture from the sheet and did the embroidery..the colours dont match much since at that time i did not get the same colour thread and they were in a hurry they had to travel back home the next day. but all in all.. it came out well. :)

I know its been sometime now since I have written here, been kind of busy with things at home, but today I had some time and was browsing when I saw this blog http://deepashome.blogspot.com/ I really loved to see her work.

It was fun trying out somethign new. Thank you Deepa :) http://deepashome.blogspot.com/2008/07/chemanthy-work-indian-embroidery-method.html

I went through most of them. :) and it was a joy to read. It inspired me a lot..but the most that interested me was the site http://www.needlenthread.com/ it attracted me like a magent. There were so many stitches that were listed that I had not heard of :( but, the most happiest was that i could learn from the viedo tutorial that was there. I had learnt embroidery but i never imagined that there were so many ways and SO MANY stitches.. That is when i realised i had not taken the interest to venture out and search.. i had beenstitching only what i had learnt over and over again. So the next day I went and got me a yard of cloth and have been trying to make a
