Ah, summer, and the living is slightly spooky around the edges…Who else craves Halloween in the hottest part of summer? I suspect it’s a lot of you!
This last month I’ve been gratifyingly busy with all my happy stitchery! I went a little viral on a couple of Facebook groups, and requests have been flooding in for my Guardian Eyes, so I’ve been stabbing away, making as many as my little stabby hands can. Even with all that fun goings-on, I did manage to finish a few other pieces as well, and they’ve all found new homes…
(I will always, always love making Baba Yaga huts. )
Down the road, I’d like to release embroidery kits, so that people can have some fun with my designs. I’ve been drawing up patterns when I’m not stitching away on other things, and it’s great fun. I’d like to stuff a little box full of floss and a pattern, a hoop and some predrawn fabric, some directions and maybe a little surprise. I do love adding little surprises to things I send out. I’m also working on some Fall and Halloween stationary to put in the Redbubble shop, because Autumn is wonderful and so is sending out sweet cards to friends. This part of summer is the part where I’m really starting to crave October, so very much…
At any rate, fall is shaping up to be busy and interesting, with a few extra treats in the shop. And I’ve got some fun requests to play with. But in between all of this, I’m still trying out different kinds of Guardian Eyes, in different colors, shapes and mediums, as well as other embroideries that are demanding my attention. I have a boatload of Delicate Swears I want to stitch up, as well as offended mice, curious bunnies and sardonic ghosts. And if you’d like something special, leave me a note in the comments, or email me, or say hello on Facebook. (I’ve got kind of a longish list now, though, so commissions will definitely take some time.)
Stay well out there, be careful, and thank you all, so very much for your kind, kind love of my art. You all bring me a lot of happiness…
