Battle of Embroidery

Camden’s diaper bag was falling apart and I knew it was time for a new one. I wanted to get one with his name embroidered on it and when I finally found a local shop, and asked a bunch of friends for advice on thread colors, ventured on down.

I didn’t realize I would spend half an hour trying to decide on font size, accent, accent location, etc.

Finally I settled on the rocking horse.
