Cross-posting from my Instagram. I'm pissed off and had to make art about it
A screenshot of an Instagram post Image An embroidery hoop with a black thread outline of George Washington saying FUCK IMPERIALISM Text mimsys_stitches: All I feel today is shame and grief. Problematic men that many of them were, I truly don't believe this is what many of the founding fathers wanted when they finally told the British they've had enough. Have we forgotten the Boston Massacre? Have we forgotten about the Writs of Assistance and the Intolerable Acts? Tarring and feathering, a gruesome torture that has most recently been used as a joke between politicians? The most American and Patriotic thing you can do is stand up this administration. Skip the fireworks, skip the parades. I can assure you, if you guide your compass by what the founding fathers wanted, you wouldn't be supporting this. TAGS: #nokings

Reposting from our Instagram story - This week we withdrew our application to an event in September. Long story short, the organizer was using AI-generated images to market the event. We have a strong policy of No AI in our business and won't take part in an event that uses it.

A screenshot of an Instagram post. A blue background with two separate text fields, one white on black and the other black on white. Top text: "Hello, I recently applied to the [REDACTED] event under my business, Mimsy's Stitches. As I have not been approved and charged for the full booth fee as of right now, I'd like to withdraw my application. The use of AI hurts artists and makers, and it's very concerning to see it be used to nonchalantly by somone whose job is so ingrained in local artistry. My business and others like it suffer because AI steals our work to make silly, fun trend things. As such I can bring my business to this event. Thank you, Miriam Sonnen Mimsy's Stitches" Bottom text: "Also, a friendly reminder that YOU HAVE POWER. I applied to an event by the org that posted the AI art, and I sent this yesterday to withdraw my app. Now, the past has been taken down. Idk if i was the catalyst but either way DON'T DISCOUNT YOUR OWN POTENTIAL IMPACT" An embroidery hoop with pink fabric and the text "FUCK AI" written in various shades of blue beads. tags: #art #embroidery #smallbusiness #NoAI

Hello Bluesky!

Looking for something custom or in bulk? We'd love to help!
You can find our work online or at local makers markets across southeast Wisconsin 🧀

#artshop #embroidery #macrame #intro
Mini embroidered pie magnets. They are finely detailed in miniature 1" embroidery hoops. The designs include key lime pies, pumpkin pies, cherry pies, and blueberry pies. Various macrame plant hangers of varying lengths and styles. They each contain a pot to show how the nets extend outward. Embroidered hoodies with our Kirby Club design across the chest. The hoodies are mint green and orchid colored. The design features a pale kirby accented with bright pinks in front of a yellow star with the phrase 'Kirby Club Est 1992' around the design. Stickers that say 'Meowdy' beneath a brown cat in a little light-brown cowboy hat. He has a bright pink nose, flying whiskers, and a confident demeanor on his face.
