The Smiths in Stitches

A while back, Apartment Therapy blogged about these modern embroidery designs from Chez Sucre Chez, but we're here with an update! The new designs from this adorable shop have lyrics from songs by The Smiths, and we're smitten...

We've enjoyed the work from Chez Sucre Chez for a while, but we now have even more reason to guard our pocketbooks. "Please please please let me get what I want this time," is quite appropriate in this case! As always, Kimberly Scola is creating beautiful embroidery pieces with a great modern flair. Please, please, please!

Oh, how I love the thought of using embroidered aphorisms, usually so treacly sweet, to convey Morrissey's world-weary gloom!

"Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar"

"Because I want to see people and I
Want to see life"

Actually, I was noticing how sweet and romantic and hopeful the lines she's chosen are.

please, no!
i'm sorry, i think the Smiths might want to step on these--does this generation have any sense, or the twee set, rather?

(That is cross-stitch, not embroidery.)

Cute designs! I like the last one with the peacocks.

It's a twee-splosion! I just tweed in my pants!

::ahem::

That said I'd like one that says:
"I still love you, only slightly less than I used to."

maybe "...and if the day came when i felt a natural emotion, i'd get such a shock that i would JUMP in the ocean," (for the twisted jerks amongst us for which i speak);
didn't mean to rain on your parade, it's just that the Smiths were not dainty and adorable, these are sort of "sacrilege!"
