{if you don't have Word I used the Gill Sans MT font in 100pt & 60pt}

While I was trying to get to sleep the other night, I had the thought come to me...why not do a stitch on burlap.  I need to make one that says "Keep Calm and Give me your Chocolate" because when I get stressed I head straight to my chocolate stash.

{I just noticed that in the picture it seems a little wavy, in real life the letters are straighter...I promise!!}

I cut a larger piece of burlap and put duct tape around the edges so it didn't come apart.

Then I did my good ol' fashioned lightbox on my window with a sharpie.

I think next time I might double up on the line to make it thicker.

Andrea from JandAandCo blog inspired me by her making these:
