I make special Frames that hold embroidery hoops. I make cool accessories for people who like to stitch. I make friends. I make a mess.

Mom called… she says her new favorite flower is a dandelion! We made new Embroidery Kits of this charming Dandelion Field with everything you need, including the frame! I hope they spread like dandelion fluff! #embroiderykit #embroidery #dandelion

Another view of the new Egg Frames… just in time for spring. I’ve got a chocolate bunny hoop in the works that will be the first to be framed! Anybody have a good Chicken design?

The newest frame has HATCHED. I’ve got EGG frames for 4” and 6” embroidery hoops. Let the bunny stitching BEGIN!

The Hardwood Frame sale was yesterday. Thank you for supporting this small business, my family, and my community! There are two frames remaining (including this one!) and a handful of Hoop Props. I love how the wood grain continues onto the sides of the frame. Very SOLID! #embroidery #handembroidery

This one’s special.

This walnut frame is based on an arched doorway in Barcelona… so cool I brought a little nugget of the idea home with me. Magnolia embroidery by @rabbithatdesigns. Chef’s kiss!

Hardwood Frame SALE next FRI 2/28 at noon!

I'm loving my "confetti" journal cover! But I have SO MANY ideas for others... Prototype #2 is underway. This is a cover that holds several A5 (~half-sheet size) notebooks or calendars or journals. Ideas in comments! Add yours!

Inspiration comes from anywhere... this design was from AN ARM. A very creative arm, attached to a very creative person @pungoem who is learning to embroider! #modernembroidery #embroideryframe #embroideryinspiration

That’s a piece of MAHOGANY, y’all! Such an exciting day in the shop today— Too loud for the news. Cutting non-tariff’d, locally milled wood. Testing new designs.
Admittedly, about half of what I tried this morning FAILED! Keep going!
Hardwood Frames will launch this month… R U on the email list??

National Embroidery Month is here! I just put my Heart Frames on 20% off Sale (on my web site) in case you’re stitching up something sweet for your Honey.

I make pretty cool trash.

Sometimes the “trash” hangs around the shop bcs I think “I could make something with that.” Today, I cleaned.
These shapes were from cutting a Hexagon frame inside a larger Circle frame.
You should frame your embroidery hoops. 😉

Somebody needs to clean up! (it's me!)
I'm overdue for a deep clean on my cozy stitching corner. That seems like a good January task. The easiest first step was definitely the bobbins. The Bobbin Minder is the handiest little tool to wrangle your bobbins.
