While this week's design is fairly simple and admittedly I haven't branched out that much on the stitch, I have started using some Perle cotton, previously I've only really used the six stranded embroidery thread so it's nice to go in a bit of a different direction.
I ended up giving this to my mum as part of her birthday present and she really liked it.

I must say that I'm really enjoying looking at your embroidery. I'm guessing that if you are doing bookmarks, you aren't using a hoop?
I like this bookmark, reminds me of the long seaweed you see in the ocean from time to time.
Thanks!
I have actually been using a hoop, just a small one that gets moved around a bit. Although a couple of times I've just worked out the size of the bookmark, embroidered it with a larger hoop, and then cut it out. It's probably only the last couple of years that I've worked out how handy hoops can be, so I've got a big collection of 4 (except that one doesn't work, and another is being borrowed).
