Embroidery obsession- negative space

One of the things I'm obsessed with lately is embroidery in tiny little 3" and 4" hoops. I signed up for a swap and this is what I decided to make. I wish my photography skills were better, because it turned out really cute.

Pinned! Dresser makeover.

I've had a small wooden dresser for years. When I was growing up it was olive green and held paper and pens and school supplies. When I went to college I stole it, painted it black and stenciled a purple hydragea on top. Now it's badly peeling red and white from my son's room. I think when we move again and the baby gets a room I'll do something like this for her. How pretty is that!
