stitch yourself silly!

i realized yesterday that i'd actually love a book of embroidery instructions--because really, stitching something for someone (say, perhaps, a missive) really is pretty awesome. after doing some poking around, the reviews are pointing me to embroidered effects by jenny hart (whose own work is truly a spectacular spectacle). the book even includes transfers you can cut out and use direct. rock on.
