Hello!

Welcome to my new blog!

This place will be dedicated to my love of stitching and all things hand made. I hope to share ideas and inspiration and encourage all of you out there to make something!

How I got started:


This was my very first stitching project (design courtesy of Subersive Crossstitch). Come on, how awesome is this? I'd never really thought about cross stitching before, but this great pattern inspired me! I had a lot of fun stitching it and I got so many compliments on the design I just had to do more.


From cross stitching, I moved on to embroidery. I *love* embroidery; it's like coloring with thread! I'm completely smitten with Jenny Hart of Sublime Stitching, who's unicorn pattern I used for my first embroidery project and who's patterns really inspired me to try embroidery in the first place.

Stitching has sure come a long way since I used to watch my grandmother embroider pillowcases!

So stay tuned for more stitching!

Love,
Niki
