Pretty Linens

I spent about 3 hours in the antique mall yesterday. I left with Christmas presents for 3 family members and a set of linen napkins for myself. There are 8 of them, and they don't look like they've even been touched. I have always cross-stitched, but lately I've really wanted to start embroidery. I think these napkins will be a great platform to start with. Now I just need some cutesy vintage patterns!

Taco

I made this for one of my clients, Charles. He has a chihuahua named Taco that he is absolutely obsessed with. In his sadder moments, Charles has said that Taco is his only reason for living. This cross-stitch is a perfect likeness of Taco. I mean, that pattern was dead on. The only difference is it doesn't yap and bite my ankles.
