Paper stitching
Here’s a card idea: fold a piece of paper into three sections. Embroider a nice picture or design on the middle panel. Fold the first panel over to hide the back of the embroidery. Ta-da! A cute little card! I’ve been reading this wonderful little guide to stitches and took one of its leaf designs to make a test card. I think that the simplicity and careful look of these is really...

I really like this stuff! I want to learn how to wind stuff like this. It reminds me of braided rugs. So, so pretty!

21 ways to start a project
I guess this will be the blog arm of Penelope Popsicle. I’d like to post stuff that I like as well as our process. I totally need a camera, but that’ll have to be borrowed. Penelope Popsicle is the umbrella term for anything we make. It has to be cute (like Penelope Popsicle) and it has to be thrifty and tricky (like Penelope Popsicle, too). We are also posting on ETSY to sell stuff...
