Story goes I have a pair of old ripped up Converse, I like them being ripped but today realised they could do with a bit of stitching up as the rips were getting pretty big, so after doing the rips I decided to customise them a bit:

The Invisible Boy is self explanitory.
The Sun represents Walking Along in the Sun
The Star and Moon represents Under the Moonlight
The Tied To The 90s is self explanitory
The Smiley Face represents Happy
The Flower represents Flowers in the Window
Then Nick is actually my name lol

Hey everyone, thanks for the replies, and TK23, I'm not actually sure what embroidery floss is lol, I just used a needle and some different coloured threads, so unless embroidery floss is another name for a thread I don't think I used it lol.

And yeah Ursina, fingers were a bit sore, my thumb is still feeling a bit stingy today lol, might add to them later too if I get bored or if I'm in the mood, thinking of adding the lyric from Turn, "I want to live in a world where I belong" and from Follow the Light, "Just follow the light" and just "Sing".

Use a thimble so it won't hurt!
P.S. Embroidery floss is thread, but thick thread used in embroidery to make pictures and stuff.

lol! Yeah, like Turtleneck said, embroidery floss is just a thicker type of thread used specifically for embroidery (resembles string more than thread). It comes in a wide range of colors and costs like $.35 at craft stores.

Wow, strange how conversation can turn to *craft materials* on the Travis board. LOL
