What I’ve been up to…
A little pin cushion I whipped up. It’s the first one I ever made so it’s not that great but I like it anyway. I got the pattern out of Jenny Heart’s book ” Sublime Stitching: Hundreds of Hip Embroidery patterns“.
Fafi “Gwen”. I used a transfer pen and stitched it on felt then used colored pencils to fill her in.
This little cupcake was a free pattern that came with the Sublime Stitching carbon paper. It was my first try at copying a picture and stitching onto a tote bag.
Cheech Wizard. It’s still a work in progress, I’m still filling it in and working on my seed stitch..
The rest of these patterns are from Tara McPherson for Sublime Stitching artist series.
This was my first project, a bib for Jackson. I love Mr. Wiggles!
This is one of my favorite Tara Mcpherson prints so I was super excited to stitch it. I also did floss blending for the heart..
Close up of the floss blending:
This one took me forever, I’m happy how it came out. It was my first try at the satin stitch.
So as you can see I’ve been a little busy. I usually stitch at night when Jackson goes to bed. It kinda helps me zone out and unwind from the day. I’m still pretty new so I don’t have every stitch down yet but I’m working on it. I’m going to try to update more, I have a few project’s in the works, and hopefully not negligent my blog. I miss you guys!!!
I’m on Flicker http://www.flickr.com/photos/bubblegumponys/ , so come say hi!
