Making an embroidered bookmarker - with ladybugs & fingerloop braids


Well, my first post of this year is a bit late in coming! 
If you have followed me for any length of time, you'll know that I really don't like January - there always seems to be too much paperwork, its too cold, too dark, and the month too long.

It's nearly over now, yay!

This video shows the process I took to make the multi strand bookmarker that I created for our "Monthly Makes 2023" challenge on our Facebook group. 

I decided to only really monitor this in the Facebook group, and the button challenge and checking in across social media while still running the business became a little stressful at times last year. However, I do intend to repeat the weekly button challenge again, just not this year.

Basically, for the new challenge there are two sets of words, written on on pieces of paper. These are folded and placed into two little bowls (a certain dessert brand's bowls come in handy for this type of thing!).
At the beginning of the month, I will draw one from each and film it.

Those two words are the prompt.

Anything with a bit of textile can be made. No rules really. Use your stash perhaps, or try new techniques.

January's two words are 
RED
CREATURE

And so, these ladybugs are my red creatures!
