• Constellation Embroidery

    A friend of mine here is expecting a little one any day now and is in that full blown nesting phase. I love this project of hers recently where she embroidered a few favorite constellations to frame for their nursery. Aren’t they beautiful? I love the pop against that bright blue fabric.

    Handmade items in a nursery are so sweet. Any moms out there make anything during their nesting phase? I don’t remember making much before, unless you count all those plates of nachos at 10pm (oh, and the actual BABY).
