A few quotes I'm hoping come up soon are
"If you are going to be a turd, go lay in the yard" - thanks to my friend Jaime for that
And
"You get what you get and you don't pitch a fit (at least at Mama's house)" because I say that all the time in the face of my complainers.
True here, but not true in life.
Really it should read: "You stand up for yourself and speak your needs. Just not during dinner, please. You take a "No Thank you bite" of everything on your plate and IF ASKED, you say, "I don't prefer it, but thank you". Other than that, you may talk about the weather or something that happened to you today."
but I digress...
Here's the finished project.
I forgot to take photos of the finished back, but I used this lovely tutorial as a nice finish with brown felt. It came out so well! I am always surprised by the sharing community of crafty bloggers, helping others learn how to do things too. It makes me so happy.
In the spirit of that, I made this pattern into a little pdf, image reversed and everything, so you can print it yourself and make your own wall hanging.
** DISCLAIMER** The border was a free pattern I found on the web by searching, but I can't seem to find the same link back to give credit to the little daisy stitch vintage border. So I am not claiming it as mine, just assembled by me. If you know who's border it is, please leave me a note in the comments and I will give credit where credit is due.
Also, if you make this, or are inspired by it to make something of your own, comment in the posts with a link to your project. I'd love to see your work!
p.s. For reasons I haven't figured out yet, I noticed a sharp uptick in my traffic from France these last few months, so if you are here from over there, Bienvenue!

Update!! I found where the little border came from. It's a little pretty rose garland I found here and edited the center out. Source of theirs unknown, but it seems very vintage. Found here.
