I made this for my peep, Christie's birthday which is actually this coming weekend. I wanted to give it to her early since I knew I might not see her before her special day. The fabric in the background is what I used for the backing.
I changed the placement of the colors on this one by switching the dress and hair colors around. No particular reason really. I just thought I'd have fun with it. For some reason I had a total mental block on the thread part of this design. I guess the frog just wanted to visit with me or something.

I found out on Thursday that my peep, Linda's birthday is the same day as Christie's! For some reason I don't think I knew that or if I did it didn't register with me. Linda is one of the peeps that went to Shepherd's Bush with me.
I had to stitch something for that girlie. I couldn't let her special day pass without doing something. I decided when I went home for the night on Thursday that I'd pull out my trusty Lizzie Kate alphabet charts and see what I could whip up for her.
I know Linda loves red. This combination of DMC's colors has always been a favorite of mine so I went with it! Linda seemed to really like it. I think it turned out cute.
I'm lucky enough to have a couple pieces stitched by Linda. She was my secret stitcher a couple years ago. It was fun to have the opportunity to stitch for her this time. I love how the over one turned out on the back.
I've used these same alphabets for several Ott-lite fobs this past year. They work great! Who knew when I bought them that I'd get so much mileage out of them. Definitely a good purchase for sure!
