returning back from a year long hiatus. to be honest I really really struggled to stitch anything for a long while, life was stressful and work was a lot and I didn’t have the brain space for creativity
but I made this for my boss’s birthday and seeing how much she liked it, I’m going to try and do more embroidery in 2025

not to sound corny but the textile arts make me feel connected to the world around me. it's so intentional and deliberate and when i sit and do it, i think a lot about how many other women that came before me used to do it, how many hands have used the same supplies i am using, and how many other people might be doing the same thing as me all across the world right now
one of my favourite things is when museums have really old sewing tools and they are so similar to the needles we use today but so many lifetimes have happened since they were last used
hundreds , maybe thousands of years old, yet so alike to what I use to create today

Happy Earth Day!
Have you ever seen a sea otter? Why are they so stupid cute?
This design is from last year's charity campaign with @thestitcherscollective. I later updated it to have more fun options! If you slide through the images, you can see the sea otter holding a starfish, a Pride heart, a book, a baby otter, and a skull (that is not from the baby otter).
Find this design in my shop! It's quick and fun to stitch on your favorite watery colored fabric.
