My husband is a handsome fella. He really is. I suspect we might be one of those couples where people say "He is way too hot for her!" But, then, when both are really, really ridiculously good-looking, that's just annoying. And no one wants to be their friend. I digress.
I'm taking this craft class, as you know, and the project I am currently struggling with is this sweet little family portrait embroidery. I draw us-like people all the time. But take away my pencil and paper and give me a needle and thread... and I'm lost.
I'm relatively happy with the stitchy versions of E and myself, but "the likeness" of my husband just keeps getting farther from the truth!
See!
(I was trying to remove "stubble-stitches" but felt likes to hang on for dear life to the the thread. Thus creating the face-eating-spider-spawn look)
If anyone has any handy tips on how to make a nice scruffiness... a very closely cropped beard kind of facial hair thing- in embroidery- please help. He's starting to get offended.
Also... does anyone else think he has feathers on his head?
Here's one for reference:

I didn't know you had a blog. I have some catching up to do.
PS Embroidered Brady is kind of scary
No advice on the embroidery, unfortunately. Thoroughly enjoyed this post though. good luck on your project.
I think the whole 3 of you are too flipping cute. Making the rest of us look bad at family functions... *thppt*
(You're the prime culprit, too, just so you know.)
i'm loving your new blog design, and the profusion of posts! (btw, you are that annoyingly good-looking couple, which is why we aren't friends with you.)
hugs (but secretly not hugs),

ps - my "word verification" thingy was "plubleg," which sounds like what you get when you try to stand up in a pub after having WAY too much to drink:
"hey man, why are you stumbling all over the place?"
"slorry man. gluess i got a lil' plublegged."
Funny, Bryan- I always thought that was you guys!
Oh, Robin- you're funny. Sweet. But funny.
