Friday Instagram Finds No. 20 with Itty Bitty Bunnies

It's Friday, hooray! I've had a heck of a week with my son turning 26 years old, our 4th wedding anniversary, my cat being diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, and my Great, Great Aunt Dorothy passing away at the age of 101 year and six months old! The chaos isn't over yet because tomorrow I'm a vendor at a big market in my hometown {info at the end}.

Let's get on to Friday Instagram Finds with Sarah of @ittybittybunnies! Sarah is a hand embroidery artist who creates lovely work that features pretty florals and text. Her Instagram feed is filled with her embroidery, gorgeous flowers, her adorable sons, and her vintage finds. Let's take a look!

Oh. My. Goodness! Take a look at the detail on this gorgeous bouquet of flowers!! The shading effects that Sarah has used are so beautiful, and the layering of floss to create depth and dimension is truly artistic. I cannot wait until she reveals the full photo!

While I am definitely a summer person, I can almost get excited for autumn after spotting Sarah's pretty embroidered leaf. As in the bouquet of flowers above, Sarah's use of thread painting using a variety of floss colors to add subtleties of shading make this leaf so much prettier than it would be if it was in the more traditional outlining embroidery. I also like how she hooped it so the leaf looks like it's falling.

I do this all the time, and I highly recommend that everyone read past their bedtime at least once a week :)

I'm pretty certain Sarah used a vintage quilt as the outer ring of this Home Sweet Home hoop. This hoop has such a vintage and cottage-style vibe, and all of the colors are so pretty together.

Texture and leaf

This is a lovely piece, isn't it? Perfect autumn colours, great texture and a lot of different stitches.

How many different stitches do you see?

Seed, leaf, bark, stone

Amazingness! Your eyes do not fool you, Margaret of Resurrection Fern has indeed, embroidered a stone:

She says she will never reveal her secret method. Sounds like a lot of peeps are going to be asking "pretty please." :) Bravo Margaret!

Leafy

Orla, originally uploaded by erinsy.

This is a beautiful piece. Inspired by the work of Orla Kiely. But lovely inits own right as well. I love the colours.

I suspect this won't be the last we see of erinsy here on Feeling Stitchy.

Fall Lovelies

One artist I spotted on etsy has an array of simple and wonderful fall lovelies. I am browsing while drinking my favorite fall drink---cafe mocha. Jenny reminds of windy, balmy days and cool cricket nights.


Whatever am I going to do with all these tomatoes? This has been an especially good harvest for me this year.......we have been BLT happy!


This weekend I am headed to Northern Wisconsin to view the leaf colors---affectionately known as Colorama Weekend. These leaves are a beautiful way to celebrate such earthly ornaments!


This reminds me of the chickory that lines the roadways here in the fall.


And, it is just a matter of time before the winter berries appear here in the North..........
