It was easy and it wasn't at the same time, meaning it took a couple nights (while watching Season 1 of The Big Bang Theory) and the hole punching (Push pins work better than the embroidery needle, in my opinion.) was a bit tiresome and produced some hand cramps, but I'm generally pleased.
I got the fireworks pattern from Sublime Stitching's flickr. I was really pleased with these.
The "e" is my favorite; the tea cup is my least favorite. The tea cup is taken from some random clip art and I just printed off a big "e."
I'm still working on my technique a bit, but I think there's some potential here.
In other DIY news, in an attempt to save money I've decided to try to trim my own bangs. I bought some real-deal hair scissors yesterday and gave it a whirl. I am quite relieved it turned out alright.
I never know what to do in photos. The standard smile seems too cheesy but then my other faces are just weird.
I'm awkward.

That is very impressive! I think the 'e' is my favorite, but they all look lovely! I want to learn how to do that!!
They are pretty :)
I like the E one as well :)
I used to try cutting my own bangs but I'd cut them wonky or too short lol. I tend to only cut extra layers into mine now as it's quite long - if it still goes back into a ponytail then it's not too bad.
I found this site really helpful for the stitching how-to. For the fireworks you're come up and down, pretty straightforward. For the others, if you download one of the patterns from www.prickandstitch.ismycraft.com like this one: http://prickandstitch.ismycraft.com/2008/08/04/prick-and-stitch-flower-pattern-download-it-free/
it has instructions. The tea cup follows the stitching instructions on the pattern and then the e is the upside down of those instructions.
Happy crafting!
