Peace Out!

P loves anything and everything that has a peace sign on it. In fact she likes it so much that she has a ton of clothes with it on it, a duvet cover, vinyl art, window decoration and much much more. She asked me not too long ago if I could embroider the peace sign for her.  Yes, I and and would love too... Oh no, why did I say yes?

I am not the creative type here. I need a pattern and if at all possible instructions! I have no pattern. So I sat at my computer trying to find a pattern of some kind on the internet when a thought struck me... could I use  a peace clip art, enlarge it and print it out. Would that work? Yes it did. So I searched all the available word clip art for peace signs. I printed the ones that I liked, cut around them and rearranged them on a peace of paper. I drew some kind of floral embellishment and copied it so I would have a neat "pattern".

P gave me her approval and told me which colors each symbol was to be embroidered in. It was finished a couple of nights later and framed the next day. And now it is hanging in P's new room. We both love it! Please excuse the glare :-)



So what's the moral of this story you ask? Well, I don't need a pattern to be creative ;-)

Take Care
Me
