I embroidered a little beginner project! It's not much, but I'm satisfied with it for a first project. I did a sampler of different stitches, but I've lost that one in the last seven days somehow...Regardless, the leaf exists because I wanted to apply those skills and had NO IDEA what to make. I'm particularly happy with how I was able to mimic the 'vein' of a leaf using a clever lil stitch I found online: I'm using aida cloth right now (since it came with the kit) and feel a little dissatisfied with it - it's clearly built for cross-stitching, and the dull needle I got off of Amazon has trouble really puncturing any of the weave except the obvious pinpricks which are useful for cross-stitch. I think my next for-practice project will use some of the scrap fabric I have laying around as rags, and I'll move on to something simple like a bandana after that!
