FO Friday #6: Embroidered Button

I haven't had much time lately for crafting and didn't manage to post a FO last week. This week, I have a very little FO to show you. A little embroidered cupcake button using the free kit that came with Issue 7 of Mollie Makes magazine.

I drew my design on the linen using a wipe off fabric marker...


... then I embroidered over my sketch ...





.... and wiped off the marker pen using a damp cloth....





... then I mounted the fabric on a button. 


For my first attempt at embroidery and covering buttons, I am quite pleased. I love the sketchy feel and it has sparked an idea for a sampler for Evie. I am now going to check out the other FOs on Tamis blog.

November's Challenge(s)

As the last 2 challenges have been knitting related, and I have failed to complete either of them, I'm going to try something new. Here are some things I want to do in November.

ONE
Complete my pregnancy section of Evie's Scrapbook.

TWO
Post a FO Friday post every Friday in November.

THREE
Try embroidery.
