the love of my life accidentally erased the final pictures i took of Scout's apron i did,
but luckily Sharalee took some photos that i snagged ;)


obviously this is one from our camera...

i did little x's on the pocket.... and since i was pressed for time, i kinda cheated with the iron on letters for her name.

birthday gal!

i was a little nervous but the look on her little face was priceless!

and i was so happy to hear "yo gabba gabba!"

... phew! it was a relief that it was recognizable.

now it's time to start the next project!

like i said before, my ideas feel infinite

and i get a little scattered with excitement and maybe just even absent-mindedness (?)

but we'll see what comes up!

've been stuck at home sick the last 2 days...

which is awesome and sucks at the same time.

yesterday i went to the doctor and found out i had a 101 temp and bronchitis. sweet.
and usually i'd be super stoked to miss out on "grown up" responsibilities, but i actually like my job. oh well... whatcha going to do?

anyhow, enough "poor me"...

I did find time to revise a bag that i've had for a while.

i bought it originally because i liked the fabric, not so much the form though.

here, i'll show you.

and forgive the picture quality. (still haven't made the investment for a good camera... i blame my frugality coupled with my procrastination)

but now i likes my "new" bag much more...

just trimmed it up and added some really simple handles.

i still need to post the pictures i took of project #1 but sean has the camera... so next time!

soooo... project numero uno teaser:

maybe he looks familiar?

i'm finding little pieces of thread throughout my house...
i feel like a mad woman and i love it!
i want more colors!!!

tackling a semi-big sentiment.
pictures to come asap...
asap as in, as soon as i finish.

patience is a virtue, especially with me because my time management is awwwful.
luckily (and suprisingly) i'm making good time with this project.

eeeep! i'm so excited :)


... on a different note, this girl may have to invest in a better camera.
especially i plan on documenting my progress, si?

i feel that i am constantly moved by those around me.
i can only hope to reciprocate.

lately i have been very fortunate to know what it feels like to be truly appreciated.

i have a very loving and mature boyfriend who i absolutely adore. i learn so much from him daily. (very different than the previous relationship... let's just say the ex was the jobless unmotivated kind while i carried two jobs, school, and paid all the billls... oh and he cheated on me. cool, i know.)
i have a job that i love. in fact, my manager gave me a hundred dollar bill today only saying that he appreciates my help and that i should take my boyfriend out (which we did, and had a very nice bottle of wine to top it off).
i am surrounded by very beautiful people as friends. i feel that they enrich my life in ways that i have a hard time wording.
and while it is still a budding relationship, i find so much excitement and tranquility in embroidery. i can't wait until i can stitch quick enough to keep up with my ideas. because i have what feels like an infinite amount of ideas.


right now my relationships are satisfying and my creativity is insatiable.

i feel that i am constantly moved by those around me.
i can only hope to reciprocate.

working on a pattern from sublime stitching...

freehand on my needles/scissors/buttons bag...



meet johnnie! the newest addition to our family.

oh em gee it's my very first blog entry!
first, two things:
1. i don't talk like that
2. hi!

i've left an abandoned lj, myspace is lame, and i just don't feel at liberty to ramble much on facebook...
so voila'~
let me share a little with you....


i have a new hobby that i love! love! love!
it's therapuetic, i can do it just about anywhere...
a few pictures, perhaps?

not the best pictures but all i have right now is my webcam. boo.

anyhow, these are my very first two pieces i've started besides my practice stitches...

i'll take better pictures when i get a chance, but i am really happy with how they're turning out!

and can i just say that i geek the fuck out when it comes to all the different kinds of stitches? cause i do.

the other best thing that's been taking up my time...

mr. brooke...

i know ladies mush on about their bfs all the time and it always sounds the same, so i'll keep it simple... my boyfriend is the coolest motherfucker i know.

i'm hoping to make this a little spot to document my progress in my many loves...

to post my findings of inspiration...

and more or less to word vomit.
