Bookmarks

I have, for now, a couple of bookmarks I've made. They're cool embroidery projects, fast, pretty, and useful!

This bookmark was made from a Textile Heritage counted cross-stitch kit. I found it at the thrift store for 2 euros. It has a bird, I buy it, simple. And I love puffins, they're cool silly guys!

I loved making it, the only issue is that the tassel quickly broke T-T but that's alright.

They have a lot of kits that look very cool, I can only hope to find more in thrift shops (I can hope).

This second one was made as a gift for my grandmother. I tried blackwork before that and really like it so I decided to do a bookmark on linen.

Not good. Ruined my eyes and my sanity, won't do again. It was very small and tricky, I think I'll stay on Aida for now, maybe try a higher count another time

My grandmother loved it though! She used to sew and embroider a lot, so she was quite happy to get a handmade gift for one of her grandchildren!
