FFF sewing challenge

For this week's FFF challenge at The Greeting Farm Elena issued a sewing challenge. Now, I have my mom's old Bernina and it actually sits at the end of my desk but when I let the desk get, ahem, a tad messy well, it becomes a hassle to pull it around. Needless to say most times I leave the mess and skip the stitching. Which is a shame because I really do love the look of stitching on a card or page. Luckily for me I have successfully managed to keep my desk clear for a whole week and it was easy to play along in the challenge. :)
And a silly little confession... I think this may be my fave TGF card that I've made so far. Ya see... I kind of view it as my TGF self portrait. Not that I wear big bows in my hair but it is about the same length and Reeta's clothes have a kind of fallish feel to me which is my fave season. Not to mention I just had to alter the cat into my crazy little Yorkie, Duke. Throw all that in with some of my fave paper from October Afternoon and this one will always be a bit special to me. I opened her eyes by wiping off the ink from the closed ones before I stamped and then I stamped Annika's head on a piece of scratch paper so that I could trace them onto Reeta using my Copic Multiliner pen and my lightbox... not too hard at all. And if you don't have a light box any bright window will do the trick. ;)
Anywho, I gotta get ready for work so I'll catch you again tomorrow. :)
