Yet Another Coffee Fix

Sadly I have finally ran out of what a good friend calls "Tracy fabric". It's the fabric that I have use for all of my other coffee themed embroideries. So I picked a fabric that is similar to it.

My fill stitches (like the satin stitch) is getting better every time I do them. I like to set little challenges for myself. Hey, how else am I going to get better?



I haven't a frame large enough for this one (it's only 5 x 5), all I have right now is 4 x 6 frames.
I particularly like this one because I grind my own coffee beans, so it makes perfect sense.

Yet another embroidered coffee themed wall art to hang in my kitchen.


I have a nice overhang space above my cabinets that have just been screaming to be covered with something. My collection of coffee themed stuff is slowly growing. But I think that I'm only going to make a couple of more things, I don't want to clutter up my walls too much.


I kinda like the "bulkiness" of the stitches, it looks more handmade.

Two of my most favorites things!

Today's post is brought to you by the word coffee and the tasty treat cupcake!

Aunt Martha has done it again!
They keep making things that I LOVE to stitch. I believe that I will be stitching the whole Java Break pack.

I played around with some stitches to make it pop (I can't believe I used that phrase). I used three different green hues for the cup border.


It is going on my kitchen wall with my ever growing coffee and cupcakes motif that I've started. Hey, who ever said that you can only pick one theme? I mean come on, can you blame me? They are both yummy!
Although, I don't like eating them together. I don't like to eat sweet things with my coffee, it tends to make my coffee taste overly bitter. :)

Another Kitchen embroidery post!

Here is my second hand embroidered flair for my kitchen. I have one more to go. But my walls still look very empty. But I also plan on painting cupcakes on 6x6 canvases and putting them up on the wall as well. And who knows how long "Project Kick Ass Kitchen" will take. But in the end I will post photos of my kitchen for all to see!



Just like the other one, its hand embroidered on an old pretty bed sheet that I had laying about.
I think that the pink leaves on it make a good background, it's something else to look at. My walls are plain white and boring.
