Needle and Cloth

I went to a huge fabric store with my mom on Friday and look what I got! I went straight for the amy butler prints.  Funny story from that trip. I  pick out all my fabrics (it took me awhile) and then I take my fabric over to be cut. The lady at the counter is telling how pretty the fabrics that I've chosen are. Then she gets to the blue fabric and says "You know this has fish on it, right?" I say "yeah, I saw that" she says "You saw the fish?"me "yup". I laughed about it on the way home. She really wanted me to know that there were fish on the fabric and that I was ok with that.
Tried a little embroidering.  Got the hoop for a dollar at a huge antique store that we went to afterwards. The first thing I did is of course a mushroom.
This one's very random, but I like it.
yes, I know he only has six legs....don't say it too loud, he's very sensitive.
