Crystal is super talented and you will love her ideas.
Check out what she has to share today and when you are done come visit me over at her blog.
Hi Everyone! I am so excited to blog swap with Allison today. I just love her cute blog and great craft ideas.

Using your hoop as a frame draw your design with a pencil.
Stick your fabric in your embroidery hoop
Use 3 strands of floss. (most come with 6 strands so you will need to separate them)
Next you are going to use a back stitch and stitch directly over your pencil lines.
Not sure what a back stitch is here’s a quick picture tutorial.
You can change colors, add embellishments, or even color in parts with crayons (I’ll have a tutorial for that on my blog soon). These are so fun and so addicting.
Everyone go visit Crystal’s blog and give her some love.
