so i caved to your many (very sweet) requests to see my new tattoo... this is just a quickie iPhone photo, i'll take better photos in a week or two after it's fully healed. i'm so excited to have my very own 'red velvet' tattoo to match rachel's. i think it's my favorite yet.
here's something sweet from today...
wowee... it's been a busy week full of red-velvet-goodness. i'm having the best time multitasking and making pretty things. i can't believe it's almost summertime. night-night & love-love, elsie
Love love love the new ink. Gorgeous. Cannot wait to see the whole thing. Love the tomato pin cushion. Totally salivating and wanting more ink myself!!!

Ooh - a pin cushion! I'd been trying to guess what it was from the other photo, and this makes way more sense than any of my guesses! It looks great - congrats!
