Isn't this a beautiful quote and something we females need to hear and say to ourselves often...
As females we play many roles of a partner, wife, mother, daughter, daughter in law, sister , care giver...the list is endless.
However, while playing these roles, there are times when we start doubting ourselves- Am I doing enough? Am I being a good mother while aspiring for a successful career? Do I fit the mould of a good wife defined by society?
I'm sure we all have been there, when we felt we could do more. As females, we have high expectations of ourselves , being our worst critics while others around us get may get praised for doing the bare minimum.
I stitched this quote for my Penpal's 40th birthday ... she is a go getter , always trying to fit more in her routine.
When the idea of stitching something for her big birthday came in mind, I knew I didn't want to stitch anything girlie or cutesy...
I decided to consult her what she wanted me to stitch , we discussed some sarcastic work/office related quotes . Well, then life happened and I got late in stitching her gift.
I liked this Emma Congdon design and finally decided to stitch this one.
I have been meaning to use my decent collection of laces and ribbons, all gifted by my mom and cross stitching friends.

Once the ribbon was selected, I explained the framer how to incorporate that in the frame.
As usual, I forgot to take a proper picture before framing. I see some minor issues with framing, let's see if you guys can spot it too.
