There be dragons!

Well, just one dragon, but that's okay. 

Cross stitched, using waste canvas

I put this little guy on the Oriental hussif I'm working on.


Today the quote is from Beverly Sills... "You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try"

    One of these days, you must explain about how to use waste canvas. I know why,but not how!

    And such a cute little dragon he is!!! I wish I had time for cross stitch-- I used to love to do it. But I'm knitting obsessed you know and something had to give. I've often thought about trying it again...
    Love

    That dragon looks like he's in a good mood, so far. Great background colors.

    WHERE do you find these small motifs to stitch on your blocks? I'm going to find time to go through some of my old Leisure Arts books to see if I can find any. I'd love to add these small motifs to my Princess On A Pea blocks.
    You KNOW you are my go to guru!!
