#amstitching Taking a break from all of the stressful stuff to stitch a friendly little purple rose sprig pendant. Just free-handing it and letting my mind wander. Will eventually put it in my teensy tiny Etsy shop. lonswayneedlearts.etsy.com

Appropriate that my first post here is about finding another embroidery example thanks to @jenniebatchelor.bsky.social and the Lady's Mag site. Look at these Met Museum shoes and a pattern from the LM from 1772. Pretty close!
