Your faux stitching looks real. I love that. I am so bad at either one. Great image for this challenge. I am so glad you came to the party. Hope to see you every week...

Hi Alex! Welcome to the tea party! How fun that you brought these little owls to the tea party! I agree with Dawn, your stitching is to die for! I also love the little ribbed brads with the brads on the opposite side!
So far we aren't having too many issues....it seems bird watching is an activity where rowdiness does not work! Love the direction you took with this Alex! Thanks for coming and thanks for the link!

Every tea party needs an owl I always say. I Like what you have done with these two. I agree with the other comments about your faux stitching is to be envied.

Gosh, I'd never have thought of Wol looking at the teapot - but that's because it reminded me so much of a vase my mother once had...Your owls are so cute, I am sure they will be very happy visiting the Shady Tree Bakery. Your little angled ribbon knot is the neatest touch - it perfectly reflects the roof of the entry to the bakery . Great stitching, too. Faux zigzag never occurred to me.
