Day One

Here is a picture from my first attempt at embroidering. I asked my mom to try to teach me because I wanted to try some neat designs. She didn't have the patience required to hone in on this talent (cough cough) but luckily we headed out to a quilt store later that day and picked up a book called Doodle Stitching by Aimee Ray. I HIGHLY recommend this book if you want to get into embroidery but don't like the old time designs as much. Once I started on this first cute yet awkward design I haven't looked back since!!

This was later turned into a bookmark because I had no idea what to do with it. ha. My projects have gotten better since this - I just wanted to throw some nostalgia in before I begin posting my ADHD craft stories :)
