A present for myself

I recently treated myself  to this beautiful pin pillow: it was created by Karen at 
 contemporary embroidery
  Karen has a particular style of work that I really admire and I have lusted after several pieces of hers:  on visiting her etsy shop I decided I deserved this little treasure.  
Visit Karen's blog and I am sure you will see what it is that I like about her exquisite creations.
