Lil bowl

This is a lil kit I had to pull out this week end . It is from the stitch n hang collection. I used dmc colors. I like the thought hope you all do too.

My lil kits

This is a Bucilla cross stitch kit. I used dmc floss in stead of the floss that came with it. I stitched it on drop cloth canvas from walmart hard wear department.
This kit has fractional stitches
