a stitch in time... takes a lot of time!

we have a new challenge up for you at Design Dollies! the first two challenges of the week are up, so you are welcome to combine these two, or wait until thursday to throw all THREE together and have a shot at EACH of the prize packages offered for october! just remember to add your link to our dear friend, Mr. Linky, for EACH of the challenges.

and remember our BLOG CANDY up for grabs - you have until this THURSDAY at MIDNIGHT to play along.... some of you have been kind enough to follow and put our blinkies up on your page, which is WONDERFUL! but there's a second part to winning the candy; a little QUIZ so you can get to know each of the Dollies a little better... sharpen your pencils!

okay, so your ELEMENTS challenge this week, hosted by my sweet Adina Dollie, is HAND STITCHING! show us what you can do with a needle and thread (or yarn, or horse hair, or tinsel, whatever!)... this is what i did:





so whaddya think? ready to do some hand stitchin'? yeah, i wasn't either, but i'm pretty happy with the result. (for the record, i used crocheting yarn, as opposed to floss or thread, and it was MUCH easier to work with!)
