Hello all! Today I have a Cross Stitch Tutorial for you! Here is what you will need:
Cross Stitch Box from Cross Stitch Style by 3birds Design, found at Joanne Fabrics and Hobby Lobby

Sponge paint brush.
We had a very nice Mother’s day. It started out as any Sunday, cleaning and shopping.
Then I was off to play with the Yarrrn Club at InsaniTea!! I worked on cross stitch, as it is something I can do left handed.
At 4pm, when the fiber fun was over, Doug and the girls showed up. We had a little tea party. The Yummy Berry tea that Ingred served up was, well, YUMMY!!!! I had to buy some to bring home. The girls played the little bongo drums and a guitar and danced around between cups. It was a lovely time.
Then the four of us walked around a bit. It was a gorgeous day! Eventually we stopped and had a wonderful outdoor dinner at Raymond’s. They have a wonderful menu with both vegetarian and meat dishes. I have to remember them next time I have veggie guests!
Finally we crossed the street and grabbed some dessert to go from Cupcakes Galore. Kyla got an Elmo cupcake, and Vada got Hello Kitty.
They are my girls, alright. The first thing they did was eat the eyes. Mmmm.
Yummy! Elmo eyeballs.
