~National Teach Embroidery Month~

Good Morning to all of you!!

yes, it's early morning here in California and with a little peace and quiet I finally decided to start writing this post. As you can see from the title, February is the "National Teach Embroidery Month"!!! Who knew? I would have had no idea if I wasn't following Sublime Stitching on instagram {if you are somewhat interested in embroidering, you should check out this website! It's full of tutorials, patterns...everything you need to know to start this beautiful art}. Jenny Hart is the artist behind all this. Check her amazing work HERE . I read her post about teaching embroidery and I knew right away that it was something I had to do... teaching my daughters how to embroider. I signed-up and I received some patterns in the mail. I gathered all we needed and I started teaching them. They loved it! Here is some pictures of their work:

The patterns they chose were easily transferred on fabric

Maddalena, 14 years old

Francesca, 10 years old



Their final work

Not bad for first time stitchers!! Right? All I know is that we will keep working, they are ready to start with their next project and I'm ready to start teaching them different stitches. I just want to thank Jenny Hart for the encouragement and ideas. 

Much love to you all.

Ciao Everyone!

in this post I just want to say thank you to all the people that are supporting my little shop. You have no idea how happy my heart is when I see a "like", even just a "view"...and every time someone buys one of my creations I'm just amazed. The thought of something that I make is displayed in your house or used by you makes me incredibly happy!!!

I have recently sold a few of my embroidered hoops, especially during Christmas time. I am right now finishing up an order of one of my favorite hoops... "HOME SWEET HOME". I created it originally for my sister, when she finally found a beautiful home for her little family. I don't follow patterns, I've always like to draw, so I make my own designs and then stitch them. I feel like embroidering is like coloring with thread! I really love what I do.

Here's a few pictures of my favorite hoops, and their links:

HOME SWEET HOME

BLESSED

DO SMALL THINGS WITH GREAT LOVE

BE STILL MY SOUL

Mini~hoops

Good morning!
it looks like it's going to be a beautiful day here in California. This is the first time I write a post with my phone... the problem is that our computer is amost completely broken. That's what happens when you leave it with a bunch of little kids! :) I know God will provide a new one, but for now I have to use what I have.

I want to share with you a new item from my etsy shop . I recently started to embroider on mini-hoops. They are the most adorable things!!! You don't need to know how to embroider to be able to use them...and I'll show you different examples. They are often used for necklaces, but I make key-chains out of them. I picked a few pictures, including my "Belle keychain", to show you  different ideas. The most important thing is to be creative and use your imagination! Go visit the original website to meet the creator of these mini-hoops: the sweet dandelyne will inspire you and show you all the tricks!

Cinderella Hoop

Have you watched the new Cinderella movie? I simply loved it!! So much so that I was inspired to embroider a new hoop... which is available now in my SHOP. What do you think?

Hugs to all!

My first Embroidered Hoop

Hi everyone!!!

what is your most relaxing hobby? When I was at the University I used to cross-stitch a lot! After giving an exam I had to cross-stitch {or crochet} something pretty. The pretty colors and the concentration distract me from everything around me... Now that I'm a Mom it's a little harder to find the time to do that!! I haven't cross-stitch in a loooong time!  I recently, though, was inspired by the Embroidery Hoops that many talented people create and sell on Etsy or different online stores. I decided to finally try.. and I loved it!!!! I created an Embroidered Hoop Wall Décor... my favorite are those with verses from the Bible. I opened my Bible by chance and I picked this verse:

"My heart exults in the Lord" {1Sam 2,1}

 

what do you think?

 

I added some bunting banners... just because I love the joyous look they give to the whole hoop.

I think I'm going to start making more, I really enjoyed making this one!

 

Any suggestions on what verse to embroider? I would love to hear from you!!!

 

xoxo,
