My creative space ...


Breaking up wholesale order production line monotony with the new issue of MixTape.

The tiny embroideries are for lavender birds and the vintage hankie needle case is from Selina's Vintage. There's a needlework one in her shop that's really, really cute, but be quick!

For more spaces or to show off your own head over to Kirsty's.

    Hi Rebecca.

    "production line monotony" - I hear ya. But it looks so pretty!

    What linen are you working with?

    I hadn't ordered any 'natural' in my original Duckcloth order but put in a second order that arrived on Monday. I was thinking of sending you a swatch of each if you're interested. Will email you.

    Oh cool, that would be great!

    This linen is one from Kelani, the linen I usually use for these has run out, it was a remnant but this one seems to be going ok although it's not as thick as the other one.

    I think monotony is the one thing I struggle with while crafting. Sometimes I just want everything I do to be new. But I love the embroidery you're doing! So beautiful.

    Hmm yes, the monotony can be brain-blowing at times, but how exquisite are the results you achieve! These are just gorgeous Rebecca. K

    It must be such a peaceful activity to embroider but I'm glad you have back up for when it gets too monotone. :)

    It's amazing to see how the production line works. I would never have envisioned all that embroidery all in a row. Genius even if monotonous!

    It's a very cute production line, all the same, and so much better to do things this way rather than one by one. Call it eye candy production line instead and you might feel happier about it!!

    Your embroidery is really lovely. But you do need a change of scene sometimes. I love that little needlecase.

    Crafting /sewing for others always brings the desire for balance between creativity and production. I am impressed by you do a whole sheet of embroidering. I made lavendar sachets as a teen with each one free-hand embroidered and while i got a lot done my production rate could have been significantly improved because I always sold out.

    (Hit the submit too soon) Your work is exquisite and great taste in other's (Selina's) handiwork. I am looking forward to getting my production (of felt purses) up to speed so I can buy other crafter's work.
