embroidery isn't just for grandmas


i am a very lucky girl. lucky because my customers have been coming up with the most creative custom requests lately and i can't take any of the credit for that! i just finished the embroidery on this pair of converse that a customer is giving to her fiancee as a surprise to wear at their wedding...cool, right?! we put our heads together to come up with the simple little design and now i just have to finish the other shoe before shipping them off.

and once again, i think i want to borrow the idea for my own wedding. or maybe a pair of embroidered converse with flowers or music lyrics and such for everyday wear...for myself of course!

I did something similar on the shoes I wore on my wedding day - 8years ago yesterday. (I was only twenty when I got married, so don't go thinking I'm old or anything. : ) They were little satin,fabric ballet shoes. My daughter loves to play with them.

happy anniversary maureen! it sounds like you had a very cool diy wedding, i can only imagine with all your creativity!
and no you are not old! most of my friends got married around 20 so i feel out of the loop sometimes on this end of things too :)

That is such a great idea! And I'm jealous that you get to be such a special part of their ceremony. You have the best job!
