My dad used to call me "Medusa" when I was growing up (on account of my untameable curly hair) and for some reason this design reminded me of that...Medusa...but pretty. Now that I think about it, it is a bit symbolic, I guess. Growing up I hated my curly hair; I would have done anything to have hair like the "other girls". But now, I realize that it's very much a part of who I am. In fact, I think many of my friends would say it's my best physical asset. It's still a bit unruly, but I've accepted it, and even come to love it. Anyway, apparently, this design really spoke to me, and I'm really enjoying stitching it. The design is perfect for showcasing a variety of stitches & colors.
And a few more baby projects. Simple cloth diaper burp cloths. These stitch up really quick (the truck isn't done yet) & that little dinosaur has stolen my heart. I want to stitch him on everything. The car & truck designs are from the Sublime Stitching book I got awhile back; the dinosaur is a clip art image I found online.
Your embroidered burp clothes are sooo cute! The tote bag wip is looking great! Have fun stitching away.... your sweet pea will be here soon!
ReplyDeleteI love the things you embroider! The burp cloths are colorful and very nice. And Medusa is pretty. I'm glad you are embracing your curly hair. I have kinky-curly hair, and am learning to do the same thing. Curly hair really is awesome, though, because we can wear curls or straighten it when we want!! If you get a chance, check out naturallycurly.com. It is a great site for all curly girls, no matter what texture.
