je t'aime, blissfulmama

so I created my first real embroidery project and sent it off in a swap. well the package went AWOL and was never received. I felt so bad and irritated too. so I created a replacement swap. the funny thing is, this project was obviously more polished. maybe it was a good thing the first one got lost in the mail. lol.



the swap theme was cranberry, cocoa, sage green, and golden yellow. i embroidered a floral design incorporating those colors and used the piece as a sleeve for a blank journal. I incorporated golden yellow beads into the floral design.

I am really pleased with how it came out. I am looking forward to the next embroidery project. My only trouble is the back of my work is so sloppy! I don't have the patience to tie things off as much as I should, so the backsides are anything but pretty. also, embroidering has made me realize I need to get my eyes checked. lol.
