The last time I attended Brown Owls I barely put needle and thread to fabric, lured instead by the call of the crochet hook.  Over the past week I decided to make Kirsty proud of me and finish off my sausage dog CD envelope.

I love the way that the dog wraps around the back of the envelope…

so she can sniff her own bottom.  Well, isn’t that what dogs do?

Clare has been doing a little embroidery at school, in art.  It reminds me of Sashiko embroidery.

She said that her teacher started it off, and she finished it.  Clare brought home a book on embroidery from the school library on Monday, showing it to me with great excitement because she’d was sure I’d like it “because it’s about craft”.
