I nearly always prick my finger with the needle at least once while stitching a project : ) I use hydrogen peroxide and a Q-tip to blot out the blood spots and it works quite well. This tip was found somewhere here in blogland and it has saved me from ruining a project more than once!
I am considering tea dying these little hot pads when they are all finished, and then maybe I won't mind using them. I'm afraid the white linen will be dirty in no time!

I've never tried embroidery but I must say these patterns are so lovely. I love tea and anything that has to do with it I really like. They look great on linen and turning this into a hot pad is a great idea that has come out really well.
I've never bought linen, what kind would you recommend me to buy? and which store online?
thank you!
So cute! I keep wanting to try embroidery and your project has really inspired me to try!

they look so adorable, and I think tea staining them would really make them vintage looking!
It is so darling. Love the little tea pot! Thanks for linking to Quiltstory!
