Bird Tape Measure

This is a small, fun project I am working on. I have admired appliqued felt notions on other blogs, and decided to give it a whirl. The tape measure is finished, the needle book is in progress. I'm happy with the sassy little bird, which is a simple shape I snipped up freehand out of the receipt from the felt. As I was blanket-stitching around these, it occured to me that all the embroidery and sewing stitches I know now I had learned by the time I was in third grade.
