Who still has this book???????????

My mom got me this for my birthday eons ago and it became my favorite piece of inspiration of all time. I must have leafed throught that book a gazillion times. (Hey, we didn’t have pinterest back then! )
And with no smart phone distractions, I used to spend hours, and hours, and hours embroidering my jeans.
But a funny thing happened. At some point in my life, I completely forgot (*gasp*) about this book. See what “adulting” does to you…..Anyway, when I moved back to live with my elderly mom a few years ago, I found the book quite unexpectedly. I felt like I had re-united with a dear, old, long-lost friend.

I don’t do a whole lot of embroidery anymore *alas*…I get too distracted with computer screens and all the “should.be.doing” stuff that makes up modern life. But the book has inspired me to pull out old embroidery I’ve saved over the years and take some photos and play some “Show and Tell” with all ye merry goddesses. What say you? Ok? OK!

Maybe I’ll even be inspired to go poke some new holes into old denim with an embroidery needle!
