Wings!

Heart with bats wings! One of my very first designs, ever.
I stitched it on a canvas messenger bag that I have.
Stitching on canvas sucks! Plain and simple.
I've had to start and stop several times but my poor index and thumb hurt, from all the yanking the needle through all that thick fabric.


I saw a cute little birdie in a coloring book and I knew that I had to stitch it up! I think he turned out pretty good.

Simple snap closure wallet

I needed a new wallet for my new purse (sadly, I perchased it, didn't make it). So I surfed around Craftster and found an easy tutorial of one. :)


This is my first one. I have a feeling that I will make more. I think I'll add some thin cardboard to make it stiffer, next time.

It only took me about 20 minutes. Easy!


There is always room for improvement, but like I said, it's the first one.

Hand embroidered bag

I have been wanting to stitch this one up for a while now. I just didn't have anything that it would look good on. But I did some digging in my craft closet and found a bag that it would look beautiful on.



My hubby had drawn this beauty a little while ago and I fell in love with it. In fact I love all the pretty girls that he draws. They seem to have personalities.

I'm very proud of my stitching on the hair. I've been having problems with the stem stitch. I know its one of the easier stitches, but my brain had a hard time grasping the concept.
I'm not sure if I want to add some embellishments around it or what not. I guess if I did, I can always add them later.


And I hope to stitch up more of his lovelies.

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.

Ha ha! Something new to post!

I moment that I laid eyes on this design in Embroidered Effects by Jenny Hart, I HAD to stitch it!

I had a pitifully plain v neck tee shirt that was screaming for embellishment. And the design was the perfect size that fit from the should to the *ahem* boob. (Yeah, I said it)

I used some white sequins as a finishing touch (I'm not a sequins kinda gal, but it worked).

hand stitched decorations

I got some dish towels for christmas from my mom, that are coffee themed. My kitchen walls are kinda bare so I stitched up some decorations to kinda match the towels.
I just took some old fabric that I have laying about and some extra frames.


I have a coffee and cupcakes theme to my kitchen and I like natural wood (light) tones too. But just for the kitchen. But as for the rest of the house, it's dark dark brown to black finishes.

Anyway, this is one of three designs that I'm doing. I still have to make the other two but this was an awesome start.
