I have a thing for animals, especially if they are mini. Give me mini, pygmy, dwarf, baby and I am in. I also have a weird fascination with embroidery hoops, go figure? When I saw this pretty, little Etsy shoppe with the perfectly unforgettable name- 'Miniature Rhino' and the gorgeous artwork that included embroidery hoops I knew this would be my Monday morn post.

They may look like a million bucks but they only start at $25! I am partial to the alphabet sampler since I like typography in all it's forms, yes even in needlepoint. Here's Jessica of Miniature Rhino's description:
a tiny hand embroidered alphabet inspired by traditional samplers, a craft performed by women to encourage literacy and embroidery skills. this sampler is hand embroidered in a lovely teal blue.
+ tea stained linen
+ 3 3/8 inches in diameter
+ hand stained embroidery hoop
+ my own pattern of my handwriting
+ reverse is covered with a chocolate cotton fabric
time and care is taken in every element of this piece, from the selection of fabric to the color of the thread, polished finishing of the piece and in each and every stitch.
If you need more embroidery hoop eye candy, and who doesn't? Ez of Creature Comforts and now of 'Kindred' fame has a fab downloadable desktop wallpaper that includes embroidery hoops and a buck, now we're talking... You can go here to get your download on.
