Little one you are loved

I tried something new this weekend!  

I was flipping through my trusty Martha Stewart encyclopedia (which I do on a regular basis because whoa) when I got to the embroidery section.  I love embroidery.  I think it's so awesome that you can create beautiful things with just fabric and needle & thread.  And it's not just for grannies anymore!  It's evolved into modern home decor.  


I've dabbled with embroidery here and there, but never anything more than a basic stitch.  For this project I went with a chain stitch.  It looked easy enough for a beginner.  I practiced a bit and then I just went for it.   


What do ya think?  Awful?  Lay it on me.  I can take it.
It says "little one you are loved".  I made it for my daughter's room.  My husband thought it said "little are you are loved".  LOL!  OK.  It's not perfect, but you have to admit I nailed the word "little".  



If you love embroidery too, but don't have the itch to stitch I found some great shops here and here.




Can anyone recommend a good disappearing ink pen?  Mine was completely worthless.

I'll be linking this project up to THESE parties.

Happy Monday lovelys.
