Inspiration



I am always looking for fresh inspiration for my work and most times I find it's from color.  I love finding new and interesting color combinations then figuring out how it will work as a bracelet or a brooch.   Pinterest has been a veritable font of inspiration lately, for instance.....

I have a whole Pinterest board waiting to be translated into embroidery pieces.

Where do you find your inspiration?

Filling The Shop

I have been working hard to get things listed in my Etsy shop for the holiday season.



 


Every year I tell myself that I'm going to have all my Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving and without fail I get a few presents early and get everything else at the last minute.   Are you one of those fabulously organized people that have everything done early or are you a horrible procrastinator like me?

Dark Vine Bracelet

I love making these things and am perfectly happy watching Netflix, drinking chai tea and stitching all day long.
