for my labor day, the mister sadly had to work so i took advantage of the alone time and the amazing weather and went to meek park right outside our door step to sit in the sun, do some needle work and listen to some tunes. Here is what i was working on... but if you wanna see some superb work check out becky's blog, she did an amazing owl!!!!!
the mister can be stubborn sometimes so this little guy is not going in the shop as i had planned, i guess i made the misters DREAM bike so this one is staying right here in our little casa along with these other two. the blue bike in the gold frame was a bike the mister used to have but some horribly mean person stole it. the other is of mary when she had a wald basket on her.
i am not sure how i want to sell them... here is where you lovlies come in...do i just make them however i fancy and put them up in my shop or are they custom made? i would love to know what you think!
oh and i thought i would throw this goofy picture of me because i really love my new earrings!
xo,

You're so talented! I used to do a lot of embroidery with my mom, and I think I'll have to start again! I love your tattoo, by the way! Annnd, I was l about to get those earrings, since I have bird and cherry blossom tattoos as well! :)
ReplyDeletep.s. I don't want Summer to be over either, I'm just hoping we'll get some more sun haha! ;)
Great bike embroidery! I haven't thought of that before.

This is so beautiful! I'm in awe of creative talent.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by - I'm happy it led me back to your sweet blog!
So cute. I wish I could do that
ReplyDeleteLOVE the earrings, look rather art noveau looking? Very cool embroidered bikes, I think do those you want, they're so lovely (sorry to hear about the mister's - same thing happened to my Dad's prized racing bike! Boo meanies) x
ReplyDeletewow I love it! you should sell them Id love to have one of these beauties hanging in my hallway! x
ReplyDeletethanks for the great feed back, very helpful!!
ReplyDelete@ rio: i hope you start up again, would love to see what you make! cheers to good weather!
@ jude: thanks sweetie!
@ amber blue bird: you can do it i know you can! super easy. if you know how to sew that is half the battle!
@ watkins: yes kinda art noveau and have a little tarnish to them to make them look worn!
i hate when people steel, so WRONG!! what is wrong with people!...that sounds horrible about dad, track bikes are not cheap!
i hope to make more soon and put in the shop!
i love your earring too :)
ReplyDeleteso my vote is for custom made as an option and others just as you fancy. i guess that's more of a compromise, huh.
you had such a great relaxing labor day weekend...i'm jealous!
especially hard as that bike was the one he'd won competitions on & cycled to Land's End as a teen. Looking forward to seeing some in your shop xx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing bike!! They'd be quite cool custom made - just that extra bit more special :)
ReplyDeleteAnd those earings are soooo cute!! ^_^
Love the blog!
That's so cool! I totally want to try doing that - although I probably wouldn't be near as good as you!!
ReplyDeleteoh my I just noticed your tattoos : ) they're really unique! interesting placement :D
ReplyDeleteLove those bike pieces! I would probably buy them already made...

ReplyDeletethis is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!
ReplyDeletethanks ladies!!!
ReplyDeletei love your wall of framed pictures. I love your needlework. I love your new earrings. yeah you're pretty hot stuff. I think you should just make them however you please and then put them in the shop but you could offer custom made needlework as an alternative.
