Over at Frosted Designs they have a Stitching challenge. But before I start- I must warn you, I am tired... I get a bit loopy when I’m tired so who knows where this post will go! But I was so excited about sharing my layout, so I’m here. Committed to posting it.
What better way to celebrate a good stitch than the day before my caesarean! Lol.
Trust me, 10 lb 5halfoz babies leave a LOT of stitches, but luckily my doctor didn’t use a Sew Easy... he was a master stitcher-up-er-er. Anyway, I’m digressing quite awkwardly here. Ewww...
We used to joke that baby Drew built an extra room and started making a rocket. He seemed to have twice as much space as other babies. But then my little boontabubba arrived. 10 pound 5 and a half oz (AND I am not rounding that down for anyone! I carried it, I can claim it. Lol...). *eeeekkk Digressing!*
So I used the new DCWV Immortal Love pack and one of my favourite tools: Sew Easy.
It is actually one product that does live up to it’s name. It really is sooooo easy. (*Stop posting Chloe! You are going to ruin it!*)
OOOOOO isn't that a pretty sight.
Actually I wish caesarean docs did have Sew Easy’s! It would be nice to have a cute daisy shaped scar... * SSSTTOOOPPPPP digressing and GO to BED woman!*
Did you know that looking at awe inspiring layouts can make your eyes blurry? Just kidding. This pic is fuzzy. Don't race off to the Optometrist. *Seriously tired*
The heart and love stitch heads are just gorgeous. I really wanted to add a tiny i-gem to each of the stitch joins but it looked way too much bling, so I stuck to just one in the top of the hearts. The word 'love' is surprising easy to follow with stitching too.

The very next day, a ten pound, five AND A HALF oz bundle of pure love landed in my arms. He was, and still is, such a gift of love and laughter to our family.
Thanks for a great challenge Frosted Designs.
Phew, thanks bloggers. You made it to the end of me and my inner dialogue. I’m going to bed now I promise!
