Pixie Blossoms Embroidered Hoops :: WIP {work in progress}

One of the lots of things I like about blogging is the opportunity to show to my readers and clients the process of my creations. The so called wip or work in progress posts. At least for me visiting other bloggers and seeing their wip photos {once in a while} is always some sort of motivation.

I've been working to supply my little shop with sweet items. There are many ideas to use an embroidery hoop as a nice decor for the walls. You probably have seen these all over blogland. Aren't they cute? I came up with the idea of using darling floral fabrics {patchwork} and linen to make some romantic, delicate adorns for the walls. Great for kids room and perfect gift for a mom to be! The embroidery designs are by me. I usually don't have copies of them, because I draw direct on the linen. Sooo, these darlings are totally unique! I made one for my son's teacher with the name of her baby embroidered on linen and it looks too cute. I hope she likes it. I forgot to photograph it today, I will show you next time.

They will be ready soon!

I have plans to make speacial patterns for free and for sale. Coming soon!


almost done!


Yes, I've enjoyed the weekend. One step at the time. I've learned that when I make things in a batch, it's faster and rewarding. It was hard to believe in this simple way of making, finishing, completing...but it is true. I've been writing down all the projects I would like for this season, organizing my thoughts. Although fall is by the corner I am still into spring and summer colors. 

My stash of fabric is being reduced after this {below}. I need a scissors for left handed. I am left handed! I don't use the rotary cutter. I tried. I am better with scissors.

I love this one...

Next? Well, I think I will have pillows and and a special baby blanket with lovely details on it. 

These hoops will be listed on next Saturday, September 20th in the afternoon {Arizona time}

See you again very soon during this week...if you would like to make sugestions about anything I could make...just drop your message!

Xoxo,

Pixie Blossoms :: Artful Blogging Magazine

Last week I rushed to the bookstore to get my Artful Blogging Magazine - fall 2008 issue. How can I explaim how I felt about my blog being published? So good. I was always shy to submit anything to a magazine, I did not even know that they take submissions...once I read about it, I decided to drop a message to them with a link to my blog. Some weeks later, Staci invited me to write my story... Many thanks to the editor Staci Dumoski for letting me be part of this great Stampington publication!!

Published!!!


If you don't know, you can be part of one of their publications too. Head to your bookstore and take a look in their new mags...if you are into arts & crafts, it's your chance! Why not?
