Leftovers are my favorite

During my trip to Texas, I wrangled up some of my little sister's friends to model the ties I had left over from Porter Flea. You can find any of these for sale on my etsy page!

Stitching like a crazy person

I've been stitching my little fingertips to the bone this week in order to get these made:

Aren't they beautiful? The pictures I mean. My sweet friend Sharon took these yesterday.

I took a total of 10 ties to Art and Invention today, I'm hoping they'll do well! More pictures to come!

Enjoy your weekend....

Baby boys

All my friends seem to be having babies. One of my oldest friends is having a baby boy very soon, and yesterday I made him this tie. It'll be a few years, but hopefully one day he'll love it.

Cowboys and Cowgirls

I just wanted to take a minute to post some pictures of some things I've made in the last month or so.
I really love embroidering. It's just a different way to create line, color and texture. It takes patience and as I've mentioned before, that's something I'm working on in my own life.
And honestly, running my fingers over the stitching brings me joy. It just feels so awesome.

all the cool kids (will) have them

I've been meaning to do this for awhile... stitch on some ties. Most guys I know refuse to wear them, but maybe this will change their minds.... maybe?
My friend Rebekka and I went thrift store shopping yesterday. And there I saw them. Ties. Lots of them. Mostly weird ones, like with Santa Claus on them, or golf balls or something. But I picked up a few that I think will look very nice with some stitching on them.
And robots are so hot right now (said in a Mugatu from Zoolander accent).
I have some even better designs in my mind, but you'll have to wait on those.
These are my friends. They're married to each other. Aren't they cute?

But the best part of this day, is that my good friend Grace went into labor! So excited.
