Do You Want One?

Before


Recycled journal from Borders: $3.00
Scissors: $1.00 - I ended up using the kitchen shears for the job! :)
Fabrics: $1.50
Embroidery floss: $0.35

After

Completed project: Priceless!

I was so excited about writing in my new 'to do' book that I hesitated at adding french knots to the ends of my letters (note that I only did them on the 's' and the 'h'). I had fun creating this- very easy! I was able to briefly freshen up my embroidery skills, given it's only a back stitch and some knots.

I'm counting down to my next project--it's written in my new and stylish 'to do' book.

Yep, maybe I should have embroidered, "Sarah's...don't touch..I have spies!" I must admit, I typically don't like personalized 'things', especially for myself. I tried an 'S' in an oval, but it looked funky.

With two under two, it helps to have a reference to remember my name.

Very cute. You so crafty!! You make people and journals!! I told Josh he needs to learn the Ding a ling song on his guitar and sing it to Ollie. :-) I had forgotten all about that song. I'm glad you mentioned it. :-) Are you counting down to moving day?
