I also love the hand embroidery you have done here. I am sure you could figure out a way to add a border to it to your liking to make it larger.
I still hand embroider in front of the t.v. while watching with hubby. I love to make little gifts for my sister and niece. They love them. My sister's favorite kitchen towel set is a micky and minnie doing kitchen chores. I found a vintage set of patterns on ebay.
Recently I started a snowman on wool that is about 15 inches tall for decorating during the holidays. Just finishing it up today. Last week I made myself a pincushion from wool with a jack-o-lantern on it. It sits in a milk glass tiny bowl with a lacy edge you keep your scissors or threads in. Really cute. I liked it so much that I ordered another bowl to make my sis one.
I also have two machines that make embroidery images easy on my jeans and summer tops. Very hippy fun to wear.
I just can't get away from hand embroidery though. I love it.
