This is where I share my inspiration, ideas, experiments, and sometimes mishaps. The Journal is a constant work in progress with sneak peeks into my world and the creative (and sometimes chaotic) projects happening in The Studio.
Second Take
I am so excited to share this: I finished the second of the two projects I have been working on.
I am not a fan of doing anything twice, and I was a little worried about stitching this again, but I am happy to say it has not been the least bit boring 😊
Take Two
I am curious to see how big a difference, rearranging an embroidery design and the choice of thread makes. In this post, I am sharing my process in converting a traditional tree-of-life style crewel embroidery design to a something a little more contemporary to be stitched in silk.

I always planned to stitch this pair of birds using a variety of surface stitches instead of embroidering them in silk shading - but I wasn’t sure how. Stitch by stitch, this is what happend...
new Project taking flight
I have been getting a new project ready this week. I know that many stitchers don’t enjoy the preparation but I quite enjoy it!
Read the steps I take from idea to Ready to Stitch.
