Store Closing 11 Dec

 Closed for Shipping 11 Dec 2022

 I am having another surgery on 13 Dec, so I will be closing the ETSY store on 11 Dec. If you need something before Christmas, be sure to order before then. I have no idea how long it will be until I am able to drive/ship orders again. 
I hope you had a nice holiday weekend~ above is some native turkeys this weekend, trying to eat my clothespins that fell off the line...

 
I haven't done much stitching wise, just a little on my casket to try and keep my mind busy. I have shared more pictures on my Instagram, the link is to the right. I really hate Soie Ovale as a fiber, as it sticks to everything, my hands included. So I wear gloves to stitch with it, because I really do LOVE the look of it when finished. The little scenes just glow and really look magical. 
What does NOT look magical is the hideous green rainbow hillock to the bottom left in the picture. I decided I was going to frog it out, and blast it I could not unpick those tiny stitches for anything. So I decided Id cut them out....nope. My farmer was not having it, so I left them in. Looks like a weird version of velvet or turkey stitch...I trimmed the pile down and now have a fuzzy green mossy looking hillock, I put a pic on the Instagram. I just have no capacity for things anymore, so if the stitches want to be there so bad, they're gonna stay, and hope I get to laugh about it later
Happy Stitching XOXOXO

Kitting Up

 2022 Skarlet Ladye

I have been kitting up Skarlet Ladye & getting them ready to ship~ just look at these colours on the skarlet silk ground. Soooooo beautiful!!! I have teased making an embroidered jacket from this silk...but my latest daydreams have been of a skarlet silk embroidered casket. 

Just. Imagine. That. for a moment...


I may just have to make it so. Here is a view of the embroidery of one of Skarlet Ladye's four panels. Its a super fun stitch and kits will be on their way soon! If you are interested in making up an ornament of your own, you can find out more info here .

Happy Stitching!
