Sweet Shoppe

A few days ago I tried embroidering the inside - or outside - of a shop. ("Shoppe" is a fancy, old-fashioned way of saying "shop." It is pronounced the same way.) Also, since I love both eating and embroidery sweets, I decided it would be called the "Sweet Shoppe."

Here is the picture of what I created, so I could have an idea of what each thing is and where I would embroider it:

(I do not know why I added an apple, flowers, and a pumpkin, but I was running out of ideas.)

I finally finished the actual project with much difficulty and a few tweaks on the original.

Although I am disappointed I did not decide to do the pretty blue teapot atop the purple table, overall, it turned out fairly well. 

I mostly used the straight stitch, the split stitch, french knots, and one lazy daisy. (I won't go into detail about the placement of these stitches, as that would be extremely extensive and remarkably dull.)

Cute, bright, colorful embroideries like these can become lovely wall hangings or a thoughtful gift to a friend.
