hello again!

Hello blog friends!
I know. It has been a while. Life got a little busy around here. My new teaching position is going so great! I have been really focusing on my job these past two months. I have still been crafting! But writing posts have been put on the back burner. I have even had some projects go out the door to family and friends without taking pictures of them! Oops! I do have a couple of posts lined up to show you my projects these past few months!

One project I have been dying to share is a wedding gift for my cousin that got married in August. Between finishing the project, mailing the package, complications with the post office, and then mailing the package again, it has finally arrived at their house and I get to post about it!

I wanted to do something personal for their gift. I have had this tree idea in my head and I just needed to execute it somehow. I decided to make an embroidered picture to hang in their home. A tree with their initials and their wedding date inside a heart....

I first traced the tree on some paper to get an idea of what it would look like. Then I transfered it onto some fabric with a pencil. Then I got to embroidering!

I haven't embroidered anything in a long time and it was fun to get back to it!

I wrapped the fabric around the glass of the frame and popped it in a wooden frame. 

Enjoy newlyweds!
