Showing posts with label embroidery

 Happy April, dear readers. I’m back from my no-blogging spring break, and I must say, the break did me a world of good. I’m back with creative ideas flowing. Today’s post is one of those fateful things. My daughter gave me a gift, which happened to be part of a Gen Z trend of analog hobbies, and I thought, I’ve been enjoying several analog hobbies forever, I should share them on the blog! I’ll start with five hobbies today.

As much as I’ve wished away some parts of this year, I’m happy to see fall arrive. I love this time of year! October finds me winding things down outside in the garden and soon enough, I’ll be turning my attention to indoor evening activities. I can remember my Mom used to do needlepoint and embroidery almost exclusively in the fall and winter months. While she did her best to teach me to embroidery pieces as well as she did, my stiches were always rudimentary, beginner level.  I regretted not learning this craft so I could teach my daughters, so when Fox Chapel Publishing invited me to review this book, I happily agreed, so I can better my skills and help my daughters learn how to embroidery animals too!


Cute Critters!



Learn how to embroidery with Animal Embroidery Workbook & giveaway



It all started innocently enough on Friday evening. I entered a cool giveaway on Instagram for a wonderful craft prize bundle to celebrate March National Crafting Month. I entered and naturally shared the love with a couple of my crafty friends. One of these friends direct messaged me to ask what I’m going to create this month. Great question I said! Because, it seriously is a great question. I may make a new spring wreath, or new garden stakes and plant markers, or I could finally allow myself to set aside the time to learn a new craft like crewel embroidery like my Mom used to do. Or maybe I’ll make a simple pastel flower garland to brighten our hearth and welcome spring. The possibilities are truly endless thanks to all the fun classes available with Bluprint!
