Hello to all my dear beloved readers. I am back from my Sabbatical. Did you miss me?
I got this zip front hoodie at the Gap Outlet last weekend for $11.99. It’s last season’s style – I was way too embarrassed to wear last season’s hoodies, so I decided to shake it up a bit.

I got the design from Jenny Hart’s Embroidered Effects book. I love that book – the stitching instructions are invaluable. Hers were the first that rendered me capable of french knots.


So now I can wear last season’s hoodie and still hold my head high.
