Lollipop Trees

November 16, 2011

At least that’s what I’m calling them. This stitching thing is oh so satisfying. In about an hour I have these four happy little lollipop trees. How cute are they?

My technique could use some improvement. And possibly my uniformity of stitches isn’t all that uniform. I’m sure using an embroidery hoop helps with all that a bunch, but the hoops I do have are big. A small hoop is on my shopping list.

Stitching while sitting in the middle seat on a flight to Boston. That’s me. I’m sure my row mates could be thinking, “hhhm my Grandma used to do that.”

    I’ve been hoping to learn how to stitch soon! I love your idea for lolipop trees. So lovely!

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
