Do you ever make a decision to do something and then wonder, What the heck was I thinking?!? I do that with embroidery projects all the time (if you hadn’t noticed). More to the point, I do it with embroidery deadlines. After all, it’s one thing to say, on a day like January 12th, For ...

a close up of a piece of cloth with snowflakes on it and an ornament in the middle

I've started a new Amanda Lawford Santa; the theme of this guy is The Nutcracker. He's a handsome fellow and his buddy the big nutcracker is really cute too. I've been enjoying stitching this piece and it is going faster than I anticipated.He is 15" (38 cm) tall and is painted on 18 mesh mono canvas.

I'm still on the fence about hand sewing together the canvas front to…

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and hope that it inspires you to try it out!
