Hee Hee... That is one cute project! Do you free hand it when you embroider, or do you trace out your design to follow? Just wondering...

ha, how funny, I've been so wanting to get back into doing some embroidery work lately...some vintage-y pieces.
Very cool!
Have you seen how people are using fabric and embroidery hoops as wall art and bulletin boards? I love the look.

I wish I would have had maternity photos taken. In both of my pregnancies combined I think I had a total of 10 pictures taken of me. That is sad.
