It's so prickly!

Despite the cooler weather moving in, I was feeling a bit springish! I found this little fellow on a sugar dish I own and decided to embroider his likeness. Presenting my hedgehog:

He just came out so cute!

Hometown Love

I've seen version of this embroidery all over the web. I love my hometown, RVA! So what better way than to embroidery it?

Here's a close up view:

This was a cute and simple embroidery. I googled an outline of Virginia and sketched it out. It hangs on my Hoopla wall representing hometown pride!

It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a CRAFT!!!!

Yes indeedy folks I have actually been crafting again! I've been working on some embroideries and some crochet hats. I've been having a lot of fun with them too! So here is my lovey-dovey embroidery:

I took some liberty with the words from the song Lump by The Presidents of the United States of America video found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sj_U6vObUA

I've always loved that line so why not embroider it? I think it turned out fairly decent...

Tardis anyone??

I have a confession to make... I am not a huge Dr. Who fan, but almost everyone else in my family is so I have absorbed a lot of the show. So the time had come for me to create, the Tardis:

New Needleworks!

I have been sewing away lately and have come up with three new embroideries to share! I have put these in my etsy store too if anyone's interested. First up, a bright and colorful chicken:

Next up a cool Asian style dragon:

Last but not least, some cute purple flowers:

I had a lot of fun making these. All of the embroideries are original designs too! I'm happy with how they turned out.

Boo Yah!!!!

I have finished my embroidery for the Wild Olive swap (see over there---->)
I would show it to you but I don't want to ruin the surprise, once my partner receives I'll post pics. I am in such an embroidery mood now! I want to make up some new designs and make a Hoopla wall display in my house! Unfortunately I don't have a craft room so I'm not sure where I'll put them but I'll find a place. Here are some embroideries that make my jaw drop or my heart feel all warm and toasty:

For some reason negative space embroidery is fascinating me:
