pink dogwood needlebook

This one gave me a run for my money, I tell ya. You can't tell from looking at it, but I hemmed and hawed over this simple cover design for longer than I care to admit. I kept trying to embellish it - more embroidery, maybe some beads, or a few buttons ... an endless parade of bits and bobs from my cupbard. Boy can I make a mess in a hurry when I get into these sorts of moods.

But I couldn't find anything that made it look b.e.t.t.er. So I forced myself to just sit on my hands for a while and pretend it was perfect the way it was. Sometimes I can play mind games with myself.

Funny thing about playing mind games with yourself ... you always win. ;)
