Been working on these prototypes for beaded bookmarks and how to package them as a 3-pack. Figuring it out! ☺️💜

We are all crap when we start something. Me included! This is ten years later. And even now I see bits that I think could be better.

I’ve been working on this small #embroidery piece in between my regular ones as a gift for my cousin’s bridal shower this next weekend. I hope she likes it. It’s a depiction of Sauble Beach, Ontario beach sunset, one of her fiancé and my favorites.

LOL at unwinding strands, I have no answers, still have to do it constantly. ☺️ as for just starting, I’ve been doing this for almost 10 years - trust me, when I started, it did not look like this at all. 😬 and I still think my work is terrible sometimes. But if she enjoys it, it’s always worth it. ❤️

Since it was brought up, here’s some proof - YES, I do watch movies while I embroider! ☺️ my studio is a three season room so it’s hard to use in the winter, so I end up on the couch a lot. That’s why I started embroidering - something creative to do to occupy my hands when I can’t be in my space! ☺️💜

My studio is a three-season room and often unusable in the winter, so I gotta do something while I’m watching movies on the couch. 😅💜

Somewhat? I use a photo for reference, but I don’t necessarily go for an exact copy of it. Sometimes things evolve!

I’ve thought about doing that! The best I can offer (for now) is my Patreon where I document the process of creating an embroidery through photos and text: www.patreon.com/collection/1...

A lot of work and a LOT of thread. ☺️

That’s exactly how I approach embroidery - like painting impressionist-style ☺️❤️

Thank you so much! ❤️ I don’t use patterns or draw it out. I just use a photo for reference, use the colors I have on hand, and then go to the store for the rest I need. ☺️
