Learn seven beginner embroidery stitches and then practice by stitching a cute little floral design in the center. 🌸

It is available as a PDF pattern download or a full kit!

If you’ve been thinking about starting embroidery or have been overwhelmed by where to begin, this is the perfect opportunity! Find it in my shop or comment “sampler” and I’m DM you with details!

I’m still pinching myself that I get to teach embroidery to so many people each month 🥹

It took LOTS of work reaching out to different local businesses, trial and error, marketing myself, and putting myself out there. Ten months after teaching my first class, I’ve built up my frequency of classes to four to six classes per month and I’m still growing!

Thank you to all of the business that have hosted and continue to host me and to the folks who’ve participated. This is a dream and I can’t wait for more to come! 💕🪡

I’ve been sitting on this adorable hoop and I think it’s finally time to share it! 🪴

It’s giving cozy autumn vibes but not too on the nose. Stay tuned for more, including how the sweet cat is stitched ☺️🪡

Spending nights watching movies, crafting and yapping together was unlike anything I’ve experienced before! 🫶

Feeling all the feels— grateful, sappy, comforted and a little sad— when I think back on my trip to upstate New York to visit Sara. I miss her and the time so much and I’m SO glad I took the plunge and took this trip!

Plus, making memories by trying out Kinusaiga while watching Halloweentown literally can’t be beat. ILY bestie 🧡

Halloween Stick & Stitch Patches 🎃🫶

Recent, I had a customer reach out about a Halloween set of stick and stitch patches. I honestly can’t believe I had never made one before, so I jumped on the chance!

This pack comes with these super fun patch designs and it was honestly tricky to choose just nine! Add these onto shirts, jackets, bags, or anything you can think of. 👻🧡

This pack is available now! Comment “bat” and I’ll send you a link 🤩

This Moana piece took WAYYYYYY longer than I anticipated, and spoiler alert, I took out a big portion of the design to save time 🫣🤪

So I decided to do a little experiment to see how long it would take to fill in a square inch of 2 strand French knots, with some already stitched! I paid attention to the clock and took photos every so often to keep track of the times as I embroidered. 🪡

What do you think— are you surprised at how slow it takes or did this area go pretty quickly for you? Comment below and share your thoughts!
