Hey, I've been published!!! (sort of) A cute girl from Fave Crafts emailed me and asked if I would be a guest contributor and I was so excited!
So this is where it gets funny. (it can never be easy with me, huh?) I started on something really fun and exciting - a bright, cheery banner - (remember I gave you a sneak peek) and then being the typical dumb blond that I am, I got the project ALL BUT FINISHED when I realized that I had my lettering backwards on the reverse side! (I'm doing a 2-sided banner) haha! I laughed, cried, and I had to call Kadie and my mom in order to prevent me from injuring myself!!! There I was, writhing on the floor, clawing my way up to the counter in agony so I could reach a Dove Dark Chocolate! I'm totally over it now, but SO much stitching and work had been done and now has to be un-done in order for me to finish this adorable, darn thing!
Sooooooo - I have a lot of un-picking to do today but I had to get something to the Fave Crafts girl, so I put this monogram frame thing together this weekend and I love, love, love it! Here is the site for the tutorial. I hope you make a bunch! It's totally cheap, easy, and everybody loves their own monogram.
i. love. this! you're so talented! thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSorry about the unpicking...no one really likes to unpick...if so, I would like to meet them! I LOVE DOVE'S DARK CHOCOLATE...you must have grown up eating it; like me, because most people don't enjoy it. Congratulations on your project!
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute. I love it. My last name is Byrd so I need one of those. Too cute. You need to sell them.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the J bird ;)
ReplyDeleteAdorable!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the monogram, it is so cute. I hate to have to pick things out and redo. Sometimes I like to give up for a while, when I have to start all over.
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh, I would have jumped out the window.......eat lots and lots of chocolate while unpicking.....
ReplyDeleteLove it! I can't wait to do this myself...!
ReplyDeleteOh I "sew" feel your pain... That is the worst when a masterpiece is backwards.... I LOVE your rescue project though... SUPER cute...

ReplyDeleteit is so cute! I can't imagine unpicking the entire banner. I'd need lots and lots of chocolate!
ReplyDeleteAbby, I cannot wait to make two of these for a friend. She has a two year old girl and another girl on the way. I am sure that Mattea and the other "M" baby will love peering at their special artwork, made by their "auntie" and inspired by creative you! Thanks for the idea. I was looking for a special gift, and this fits the bill.
ReplyDeleteOnce again I am just tickled to call you my friend. R.
