What's on your work desk? Wednesday 425!

Hello Everyone,

Thank you all so much for your comments on my last post! I was a little poorly last week and also working on a last minute top secret project so I apologize for not posting on your pages or doing a work desk post. I will do better this week!

While I won't be able to reveal the top secret project for a while I'm afraid, at least it is moving forward and I'm very very excited about it. 

I can show you another of my embroidery kits that I have been slowly working on, still have the instructions to do but they might have to wait a while. I do eventually hope to start selling them on my website and also teach some day classes either from my home or at various locations but unfortunately I don't have anything set in stone.

This is my Introduction to White work Dragonfly.

So this week on my work desk apart from the top secret project is the Ribbon work kit which I've made a good start on but still has a way to go. I will also be using some beads as well to finish it off and will stitch our initials and wedding date in the middle as well! 

It's difficult to great photos on a phone sometimes so the top leaves section isn't as yellow as it looks in the photo!

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and look forward to seeing more of my Ribbon work kit next week! You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram!  

Thanks for Visiting!

What's on your work desk? Wednesday 423!

This is the first woyww post I've written in quite a long time (306 I'm ashamed to say) and my first post for my new blog, Fairy Wrens Embroidery. So I'm afraid it's going to be a bit of a long one to make up for it!

I previously posted as Emma's Sew Happy but since my mum Janet's Fairy Thoughts passed away my heart just wasn't in it.....

Until I decided to stitch a Ribbon work kit, that I had from a tutor on my apprenticeship at the Royal School of Needlework, for my Brother in laws wedding back in May. It was such a enjoy to stitch and the happy couple loved it.

So I decided I'd better give my embroidery kit and day class business a proper go, mainly because my little man is heading to preschool in September and I'm going to have more time on my hands! Woo! Here he is with my smocked bear from my apprenticeship.

I've chosen the name Fairy Wrens partly because it's a little nod to my mum and also because a fairy wren is a lovely looking bird which has some purple feathers, my favourite colour!

This is my logo which I designed and will become an Advanced Silk shading kit when I have a bit more time to devote to it. 

More about my other designs next week I think and more about my work desk this week! 

Last week I designed my own ribbon work kit, the ribbons arrived yesterday which was perfect timing to get a couple of sample stitches done and the design transferred while little man was at preschool this afternoon. Hopefully I will be able to find some more time this week/weekend to continue because I love this technique! 

I hope you enjoyed reading my blog and look forward to seeing more of my kits next week! You can also find me on Facebook and Instagram!
