WIP-TAST-ic Wednesday 11

I made some progress on my ribbon embroidery this week!

As you might recall, TAST is on hiatus this week for people to catch up. Sharon announced a small project, to combine a few stitches we’ve learned in a new project. I did not do this per se, but I did decide to jump in with my own design. Say that again? Yes, I sketched this little raccoon a while back from my own imagination (and a few photos of real raccoons), edited it in photoshop, and set to work deciding how to proceed. I can’t wait to share the details with you more when she is all done!
