Just a little peek at a few things I've made lately. What have you been making lately?

Hand Puppet Embroidery

Time really does slip right by and I somehow never remember to blog about it... well here I am trying again.. haha

I just wanted to share a peak at a new series I'm working on right now. These are hand puppet embroideries of some of my original illustrations. This combines 2 of the things I love to do, draw and craft! I don't ever do much with all of my little illustrations so I thought that it'd be a lot of fun to turn them into a series of embroideries. I gotta say I'm pretty happy with how they're coming along and am excited to make a few more!

I haven't quite decided if I'll add this sort of thing to my shop yet, what do you think?

 

Well, dear friends, I must get back to work now. I have a decent sized update planned for my shop scheduled for March 5 (hopefully) but I'll be back soon to show you what I've been up to. 

Thanks for visiting, I hope you are all well and staying crafty!



Doli Kettle

One of my favorite blogs is Misako Mimoko, I love everything that Eva creates! Her blog is so inspiring and full of charm. Eva has a few free embroidery patterns available on her blog, I made this charming little teapot lady from her Doli Kettle pattern. I choose to do something very similar to Eva and turn the finished embroidery piece into a hot pad and I couldn't be happier with the results!

I used natural muslin for the front, 2 scrap pieces of cotton canvas for the lining and the back is black and white gingham. I have plans to use another free pattern of her's, Doli Coffeepot. to make another hot pad so then I will have a set!

Yay! I love it so much when people I admire and am inspired by share patterns!
