I saw this idea several places, and I don’t know where it originated. I just know that days after I saw one, I scribbled the bullet point embroider love note on a to-do list. I couldn’t get away from the idea. If you know who started this, please tell me! :) EDIT: Katie.cupcake did it before me, and I’m pretty sure that’s where I got the idea. ;) Thanks, ladies, for reminding me! EDIT AGAIN: Wait. I saw it on Twig & Thistle a while ago too… So I’m still not sure who started it.
So I haven’t refashioned the dress yet. I have another shirt to finish first. But it’s hanging on the back of my chair with all of its awesome potential looming over the Craft Room. I did manage to read this book though. Good read. And not at all what you think it will be.
EDIT: Now feels like a good time for me to share this other crafty thing I did for Evan back in January of 2008. He was out of town for 2 weeks, so to keep my mind on him each night, I worked on this cross stitch:
I found the pattern on Sprite Stitch.

I love both of these, so great!
I also loved Prep, it was such a fun read. I saw her speak - it was a really small event (sadly, not much turnout) and she was so sweet and just seemed so sincere. I have yet to read American Wife.

I saw that love note idea, originally from here: http://katiecupcake.blogspot.com/2009/06/embroidery.html , via whip up. I bookmarked it because I liked it so much. Nice work. :)
