it was recently my fabulous sister lanikins happy happy birthday.  if you are familiar with lanikins at all, i can imagine you can imagine someone with her talent and awesomeness can be pretty intimidating/frustrating to make a gift for  Shocked
i've been pretty crazy about stitchin as of late, so this i what i came up with, to coordinate with her bedroom.  pattern is from Doodle Stitching by Aimee Ray, which i completely adore!  this is my largest and most complicated embroidery to date, hurray!



used stem stitch for the tree trunk, and some back stitch and mediocre satin stitching throughout Wink



thanks for looking!
