Ain't Nothin' but an E Thang, Baby

Dear babyChuck-
I know you're not born yet...
you're a girl...
and your name is not in fact Chuck...
I'm writing you a little note of apology in advance.
You see when your momma emailed me and asked if I'd make a cross stitch for you...
I said yes.

How darling the idea...of having a little cross stitch from lots of different family and friends that all love you so much hanging on your nursery wall...
sigh.
Oh how I love that idea.
and then the mail came...
My envelope from your sweet Grandma,
and inside:and then I remembered an important detail...
I can't sew.
No really.
I can't sew.
I make your cousin Jared sew buttons on pants when they fall off.
True story.
Yes, I know...pathetic.

So while I think I should really really have a practice cross stitch for my first go-around...
I'm going to try this.
I have to tell you though,
it took me a good 20 minutes
to figure out how to get the fabric on that little ringy-thing...
No, ...I'm actually serious.

I know...I know....it's the thought that counts.
We are going to focus on that sentiment.
Deal?
{and if worse comes to worse... there is always Jared}

Love you babygirl ♥

PS. I'm actually hoping I love this....because it's super cute...and I sense I could find more cross stitches I might need to make. {lookout babyZ}

PPS. I really want to learn to sew.

PPPS. Jared would not be happy I mentioned his mad sewing ability.
