Back in the day, I dabbled in cross stitch so I had a whole box full of embroidery floss. When I spotted some candle matts online I got the idea to make one for myself. I also happen to have lots of material in my stash.
I could have gotten a pattern or iron on transfer but thought I would just draw it out myself since I was going real simple.
I didn't want the writing to look perfect and aside from that I just wanted a rough star and a simple border.
And there you have it.
Since I wasn't sure if I would really like doing this I didn't get real elaborate but I'm sure I"m going to be doing more of these. You can't see it but the back is a green small checked fabric. It's the same fabric I used on the top of my grubby jar in yesterday's post.
So far this week has been a rough one and it's not going to be getting any easier. At least only 2 more days after today before the weekend. I hope I survive it. I may go in to hibernation on Saturday :)

You're embroidery looks great Ann...I love the child-like quality it has to it.
have to say I have never got into embroidery...I have tried but just didn't have the knack for it...you are obviously lucky enough to be good at everything you do!!
I love your "prim" stitchin'!
Take it easy this week...hibernating on Saturday might be a good idea!
Oh, now that is just TOO cute, Ann! I also love what you did with the napkin holder thingamajiggy in yesterday's post - it looks terrific (you talented thing, you :o)
I prefer embroidery to counted cross stitch and think this project is so cute!Love the font :)
mother tried to teach me to crochet and embroider, she loved both and when she was sitting down had oneof the other in her hands. mine were so ugly and i got so frustrated, i gave up. i did manage to embroider a little owl.
How sweet! Busy hands are happy hands!
That is really cool! Very creative, my friend!
awww that is adorable, sis!
Very nice!
And just take things an hour at a time, sometimes that's the best approach for a difficult week.
That looks great! You have so many talents :) I love the way you stitched the border. I've tried cross-stitch once, but I'm not patient enough - I want quick results ;-)
It turned out great! really like the sentiment. great job!
You are endlessly creative and talented. I like that "font" too..
I love this stuff. I got a small kit once but didn't do very well.I shocked a neighbor when I pulled out a sewing kit for her to use.
