My Summer shelf! I love changing this shelf every season and displaying my hoops from previous years. It is such a good way of celebrating my past embroidery work and seeing (and believing!) my progress. Happy Friday loves 🌸🌸🌸 Another sneak peek of my upcoming embroidery kit! I'm already looking forward to creating my second kit - mainly because it will be so much easier than the first. Well, it bloody well better be I tell you! The flip side of the head scratching and frustration is that I'm learning some great graphics skills that will enable me to broaden my product offering. More on that soon. For now, I'm waiting on brochures and boxes and I'll be almost ready to launch! Have a good day loves 🌸🌸🌸 Summer Queen with her resplendent afro of blooms is here to wish you a Happy solstice! I can't believe that this pattern is 2 years old now (you can still find it in my shop). If all goes well, I have plans to turn some of my favourite digital pdf patterns into embroidery kits. We'll see...still taking it one considered and gentle step at a time. Have a good day lovelies ☀️🌸🌻 Hello loves, it's been a little while...sometimes it's important to take this app out of the equation isn't it? I've been looking after myself during a difficult time and I've been working on something new. This is a sneak peek of my first printed design on fabric and the colours I've chosen for my first proper embroidery kit. I'll reveal more soon. Sending love and hugs to you 💕🤗 Hi loves, I've been embroidering this little number in between working on a commission and my first kit. I'm so excited about it and can't wait to show you. It might not sound ground breaking, but for me it feels like a big deal and a milestone in my business and personal journey. I'm especially proud of myself for persevering despite self doubt, fear and some personal troubles I'm going through at the moment. I'm having a proper break from these squares (and London!) during half term but I'll be back with kit news very soon. Loads of love to you 💕💕💕 Thursday threads...I've always got time for a close up of some luscious stitches and these rows and clusters of textural joy are worth it I think! You can find out how to stitch this and lots of other gorgeous projects in issue 27 of @loveembroiderymagazine 💕💕💕 I'm all done with this sweet hoop now, achieved by embroidering lazy daisy stitches within the circles of this Broderie Anglaise fabric to create little flowers. I think it would look great as a cushion cover, but that will have to wait. This week I am working on a commission (for Christmas! 😆) and my first proper embroidery kit, which is very exciting...and nerve wracking. I hope you're having a good week so far lovelies 🌸🌸🌸 I'm ending the week with this colourful beauty, a new embroidery design I stitched up for @loveembroiderymagazine. Portraits are one of my things I think! You can find the pattern and tutorial in issue 27, which is out now. I'm so chuffed to have work in @loveembroiderymagazine again - it really does mean so much to me. As always there are lots of other wonderful patterns and embroidery artists featured. Enjoy your weekend loves! Just one more of my woman who grew wings and then I might move on to something else (can't promise though! 😆). This is the monochrome version which I sometimes start with when I stitch up a new design. I often feel torn between working with just black thread and filling the fabric with colour and I suppose that is a reflection of me, of my style and of life really. There is beauty in both and both can coexist - simple and complex, subtle and showy, quiet and loud etc....a few thoughts this Thursday #thoughtfulthursday 😊
