My being incredibly lazy lately can will be blamed on pregnancy.
My need want to search Etsy, Pinterest, and blog world during every free second I own will be blamed on my banging new computer that's zippy and fast and ultra sweet.

Combine the two of those with a little bit of crazy and a little bit of crafty, and I need someone to teach me some embroidery skills.

Because I've found these:


and I've got a concoction of inspiration and madness in my brain and I need to execute it.

So I ask of you:

a. Come to my house in pajamas preferably after 7pm and bring your embroidery skills. Teach me those fancy stitches and I will feed you in Little Debbies or Ben & Jerrys.

or

b. Send me links of tutorials teaching me those fancy stitches and you miss out on junk food and a pregnant whacko, but I'm left pleased with know how.

thaaaanks.

Edit:
Thanks everyone who sent me links of tutorials!
These have been some of the best, if anyone is dabbling in this as a newbie with me!

    I learned online! If I had a babysitter I'd come show you, though. That Ben & Jerry's is sounding pretty good right now. I'll look up the links I learned from and message it to you on facebook.

      Offer stands for you and some Ben&Jerry's indefinitely! Thanks for that link! I'm feeling confident! I'm going to practice today after Scarlet's puppy school!

    I have no skills of the sort, but approve of this Ben & Jerry's you speak of.

    Congrats on the third little one; I love the name Selah.

    I haven't the faintest idea how to make any of those swanky embroidery pretties you have pictured. But I have a few fun new hoops courtesy of Goodwill! We'll learn together :)

    PS: I'm kinda in love with the name Selah.
