Man's Best Friend

A loving tribute to our furry four legged friend
puppies



All of these wonderful amazingly talented people are on flickr and can be found in the embroidery group.

We're Twittering!

You're probably used to our daily awesome Flickr finds. What you might not know, however, is that I'm constantly freaking out over all the amazing stuff I find in the Embroidery pool. I couldn't possibly blog every single awesome thing I find, because then there'd be, like, 3,000 posts per day. (OK, I exaggerate - but only a tiny bit!)


Enter, Twitter! Carina and I will be using Twitter to point out even more cool stuff as we find it, on Flickr, and elsewhere on the web. So subscribe to us and get ready for more awesome!

Colourful start to the day

Taco Tuesday


This work belongs to mimilove forever from the Flickr group. It just cracked me up this morning when I was surfing and having my coffee. *added* Be sure to check out her blog and explaination.

I almost spit it out.........so.....you are wondering, what does that have to do with Taco Tuesday? *shrug* It's Tuesday, and when the kids were growing up, we had a taco tuesday and they were always looking forward to it....so naturally, it stuck in this mind........carry on.........

Poetic shrub


sleepy shrub, originally uploaded by whimsiology.

Oh my goodness! I just stumbled upon this on Flickr and don't you agree that I just HAD TO post this?

This is one of the things I love about embroidery. All the different forms it takes, sometimes completely unexpected. The imagery here is whimsical and poetic; and the use of stitching is just beautiful I love the little flowers and the colours.

Do yourself a favour and go check out the rest of whimsiology's photostream!

Poppin' poppies

Oh look! Aren't these poppies just beautiful? The colours really pop! And how about the stitches? So perfect. :-)

Fab ferret!


In the title of this photo it says it is a ferret, but it reminds me of a panther - like an Inca type panther. Thpse spots and tail led me in that direction. Anyway, ferret or panther, it doesn't take away the fact that this is pretty cute and the stitching is fab!
