I’m not sure where I initially got the idea, but I have wanted to get a notebook to write letters to Avery for a long time. There are just so many things I want to say to her that she doesn’t understand. I want her to know how I felt when she was born, and what life is like each day with her—all the funny things she does and the fun things we do together. Every time I was at the store I looked at notebooks and I could never find one that was the perfect fit. I finally got the idea to do an embroidered notebook from here. I felt like this was a craft that I might be able to pull off so I gave it a try.
I don’t have pictures of the step by step. But you can find it from this tutorial. I first was going to do Dear Avery, Love Mom but then I thought it would be neat if Bryce also wrote in the notebook.Or anyone who wants to write to Avery. I might have people write in it for her first birthday. I also was going to do some cute design or something but ended up not. Here are some of my rough sketches. I had about 10.
This may seem like a cheesy idea but I love to write and I haven’t written anything for a long time. So I figured I would find something to write that could be of worth to Avery some day.
You’ll have to excuse the picture quality. I accidentally left my camera at school so I just used Bryce’s phone to take pictures. Here is the finished product:
that's a great idea! I loveit! I write things down that the boys do but I just type them - it would be cool to have a little book for each of the kids! very cute
ReplyDeleteThanks Beck! That means a lot coming from one as crafty and creative as yourself.
DeleteSuper cute Cam! I love the font and how it's so simple. What a great idea! (I posted this same comment like three times on my phone yesterday but apparently it never worked. :)
