My friend Amanda and her wife just bought a new house! I was feeling pretty uninspired about going out and buying a congratulatory card, so I decided to make one. I sketched an outline of her new house on cardstock and used my stash of embroidery floss to make it a little more interesting. I taped a piece of paper to the back to cover all the knots and twists and wrote a little note. And right before I sent it off, it occurred to me that maybe I should take a photo (or two). Disclaimer: I have zero embroidery skills, but the mistakes make it look charming, right? ...Right?
