suzy homemaker


today i tried my hand (again) at embroidering. for some reason i think ill miraculously get better, but it never happens. i think the first thing i tried to make was back in the day during kdphi times when i got into making pillows. i think i made a pillow for mon and embroidered it for her when she crossed. that was 8 years ago and i still havent gotten better. is there a class for these things? or should i just get a machine like the ones meeks has??

you cant see the yellow, but i wanted to make the threading blue-ish and gold colored. btw these are burp towels and i made them for my boss' baby. his initials are GRB and his dad went to cal, so i thought ooh since i went to cal, i could embroider cal colors! yeah...fail. epic.

Jenn, I remember, was pretty damn good at embroidering. She counted the threads in the fabric to make sure the lines were consistently thick and straight.
