I'm taking a slight break from my Cinderella project for at least the next few days. It takes a lot of mental focus for me to stitch that one and I honestly don't have the time right now. Doctor's appts, children, psychology class, housework, etc... enough to keep me on my toes!

So, I decided to get started on some smaller projects that I can throw together in a small amount of time to satisfy the stiching bug and give me some sense of accomplishment.

I got some new stash the other day (a few clearance kits, some blank bookmarks, and an alphabet chart book) thanks to my husband's lovely grandparents and chose to put together a bookmark that my husband had requested. It's the first time I'd even patterned something out on my own and, while it's not perfect, I'm really pleased with the results.



I think for now I'm not going to worry about covering the back of it. My husband says it looks a bit like another language and I have to say I agree!



I may be stitching another one of these up in the next few days for someone at church. If the colors are different I'll post another pic!

It is a lovely bookmark. You have done a terrific job!!!!

very nice!!

lovely!

Great bookmark, I like the combination of different fonts and colours! (and the back is the same verse in Hebrew, surely ?)

That's what I'm going to tell everyone Certainly looks that way to me!

I have my husband to thank for the colors. It was his idea to have Redeemer in red. I think I'll get his opinion on more projects in the future LOL

Very nice work

Lovely finish!
