My First (Kind Of) Embroidery Challenge!And a Lovely Heirloom

Hi guys :) Remember Sunbonnet Sue from yesterday?

Well i've decided to give myself a little challenge and make a months of the year wall hanging featuring Sue in various months and outfits/ poses etc

It's a challenge but not at the same time as i don't have a deadline... does that make sense? lol

I've completed January, Feb and March already and i'm halfway through April. 

Aren't they the cutest? :)

i also thought i'd show you my needle case. I got it off my great nana about 10 years ago before she passed away, and she'd had it for years before me so i'm guessing it is between 50-80 years old, sadly it is pretty thread bare near the top and i don't want it to get worse so i'm going to "retire" it in a safe place, make a new one and name it Esther after her :)

i'm taking part in a Homeacre Blog Hop  with Our Simple Life :)

(I hope i've done it right!)
