Butterfly

Craft snippet N°8
Today's snippet is little butterfly here it is before backstitch

You can see what a difference backstitch makes plus the lighting seems to be very different even though they were taking in the same place. I am going to turn it into a little pin cushion, Kaye over at Gecko gave me the idea, about what to do with small, cross stitch kits, I have lots of free kits from the front of Cross Stitcher magazine, that I might not want to turn into cards or whatever they are meant but pin cushions would be a use for them. 

Also the stripes have been growing a little. 

Bye for now
