Modern and Traditional Embroidery Dress

Happy Friday! You're in for a treat today with some itty bitty florals made by Em of @honeyandblueberries. That's a Dala horse in the picture above, made up entirely of little embroidered florals - love! Take a look at some more beautiful pieces created by Em.

No matter how difficult or stressful things might be in my life (the past week has not been one of the greatest, I'll be honest), one of the things that always manages to perk me up or let me forget life for a little while, is my creativity. I've always been a creative person, but only now am I really thinking about what that means to me and what I really get out of it. For creative people, being creative (making, writing, whatever it may be) is as essential as breathing. And in those moments when I am down, it's amazing what a pick me up it can be to reflect on something I've created that I'm truly proud of. This pic is #onefromthecuttingroomfloor of my most recent completed embroidery. 🌸💕🇸🇪🐴

Finished this dala horse embroidery the other day, finally found the time to take a shot of the finished piece. This one is reserved though (not that I have my shop up and running yet!) 💕#embroidery #embroideryart #embroideryartist #embroideryhoop #embroideryfloss #embroiderersofinstagram #stitchersofinstagram #makersofinstagram #makersgonnamake #makersvillage #makersmovement #craftsposure #creative #dalahorse #dalahäst #scandinavian #scandinaviandesign #scandi #swedish #tinyfloralsanonymous #embroideredflowers #embroideryinstaguild #honeyandblueberries

Happy Friday, Stitchy Friends! I hope you've had a week filled with stitching and a fun weekend planned. I've had some problems with my ulnar nerve in my left hand and am a bit sidelined from stitching at the moment, but I've been hatching all kinds of plans for when my hand feels better.

On today's Friday Instagram Finds we're featuring Beth of @forestchorusstudio. I just love Beth's work! It's beautiful and colorful and so precise. You can tell that Beth takes great care in her embroidery. The way that Beth stages her pictures is lovely, too. She uses creative props to make her embroidery the star of every picture. Take a look!

Stitching by Jeni Baker

I've said this before, but oftentimes, looking at a project right before you begin, laying out your colors, and being in touch with your inspiration is every bit as exciting as finishing a piece. I am in love with the bright, gorgeous colors Jeni has chosen for this project - read more about her project on her lovely blog, In Color Order. Beautiful work, Jeni!
