embroidery.

embroidery is awesome. 
it is also acceptable at any age. i promise. 
not only does embroidery have to be frilly floral old school- these days it can be anything you decide you want it to be. 
just to prove it to you, pinterest has very kindly allowed me to find these wee beauties. 

some of these designs would be super simple to pull off and they look super effective.

also because i freaked out when i read this, i'm going to freak you all out. only 12 saturdays left until christmas day.
and i will leave you with that cherry thought to ponder. 

(maybe you could all start fine tuning your embroidery skills for chrissy pressies?).
