cross-stitch.

i bought embroidery hoops at the thrift store. sweet oval ones. i don't really embroider though, but i liked the shape and thought they'd make nice wall hangings. and i think they were fifty cents. how can i pass that up?

and since i don't really know how to embroider, i cross-stitched. i think it's a skill i mastered when i was eight and haven't used since i was about eleven.

i made these awesome chevrons! and then i got stuck.

now i don't really know what to do with the rest of the space. i'm thinking a word. something silly and a bit pointless. so i need suggestions.

and go!

lucy.

lucy is quite the lady.

she loves many things.

lucy loves lamp.
lucy loves hot dogs.
lucy loves her lucy sized bench.

and i love lucy.


and thanks for the bench katie!

random.

sometimes i take pictures of random things that make me happy. and then i play with photoshop settings.

this is a perfectly hard boiled egg that's been imperfectly peeled. and a sweet vintage plate i got from the thrift store. it's enamel plated metal, which is super awesome. eating things off of it makes me feel vintage. as does this photoshopping.
