Hi!

I am a Christ follower blessed with a faith-filled husband, 2 incredible sons and so much more. God is so faithful! Being the only girl, I am always surrounded by hockey, baseball, football, muscle cars, loud noises, and all the wonderful things that make men who they are. But, I was born a girly-girl and like everything pink, frilly, and with jewelry and makeup added! Often I’ve felt as if my disjointed, but blessed lifestyle is overrun by testosterone! But, I have found that God is perfect and He knew the balance I needed ~ the perfect men in my pink-colored world: pigs in champagne!

Embroidering on Burlap



This embroidery thing opens up a whole new world of possibilities for me! I didn't realize you could pretty much embroider on any surface - granted the needle has to be able to pierce - but with the right mix of stabilizer, thread, and needle, anything is possible! I love this piece. I used a piece of burlap that I basted to hooped cutaway, added some wss on top, then embroidered. I am going to glue a layer of batting to the frame base then frame it with an antique-looking frame that I find at Marshall's or Ross. The embroidery isn't crooked, that's just my lack of photography skills! LOL
