Darcy has been on a drawing kick lately, and we're really enjoying it. It's so awesome watching her drawings evolve, and the different shapes and faces she comes up with for her people and animals. One of my favorite drawings she's created was a picture of John. I knew right away I wanted to embroider it and make it a snuggly for one of John's Father's Day gifts.
Ok, so a quick and funny story about the picture she drew of John. Darcy likes to pretend she is a pony named, "Honey Pie" & John is the bad guy named, "Licorice." Licorice hates lots of things and just about everything makes him angry. Especially ponies. So Licorice would capture Honey Pie and lock her up in an invisible cage and Honey Pie would kick the cage door open and gallop her way to freedom!
They would play this game for an hour at least every night when John got home from work. So much fun to watch. :-)
The picture she drew is John as Licorice, and it's the best thing ever.
All snuggled up:
John really loved this gift and I'm pretty sure he got a little misty eyed. I love it when that happens. You make something for someone and they're so overjoyed they get a wee tear in their eye. Best. Feeling. Ever.

Hey Aims, I've tagged you over on the 'ole blog. They're some pretty fun questions of you want to play along :)

Hi Amy,
I love this and everything about stitching, but how did you get the drawing on your work??
I'm from Holland and stitching is my new thing. Here in Holland there is not much about tranferring patterns on to the fabric. Could you please send me an email with your technique?
