My latest stitching projects had to be small to fit into a busy schedule. These are really fun to do, and don't take very long. They can be used as ornaments or ordered in multiples for coasters.
You can order just the painted canvas, or a floss thread kit, and for something special, try the metallic kit. Depending on colors, some kits are floss and metallic mixed. Others are all metallics (like the Anchor, Dolphin, Toucan).
The metallics (Gold Dust) are awesome! I never cared for metallics before, but they are just so glitzy on these jewel-like projects, it's hard to resist. I thought they would be hard to work with but using poke and pull made it really simple. Putting them on a little frame made it easy to add some stitches too, and they still fit into my purse when getting on a plane.
