Embroidered Inspiration

I’ve held an illustration by Melissa Avery close to my heart (and crafty thoughts) for a long while now.

So, while I was mulling over the grey skies filtering in through my living room window last weekend I decided that enough was enough! I would need a version of her illustration somewhere that I could look at it whenever I needed a little boost during the day. So! Here it is! I’m much obliged to Melissa Avery for sharing her work with the world…
