If you've never used stick & stitch patches, you are really missing out. They are incredibly easy to use.
1. Pick out a clean piece of clothing or sheet of fabric. I used a sweater I wear quite frequently.
2. Peel off the backing of the sticker and secure it to your clothing.
3. Stitch over the patch using whatever colours of thread you want, using your desired embroidery stitches. (I used three strands of DMC embroidery floss).
4. Once finished, fill a bowl with warm soapy water and gently rub at the embroidery until the stabilizer dissolves.
Tip: As long as you've secured your thread well, you can absolutely wash any of this clothing in a washer and dryer.
The Floral Stick & Stitch Embroidery Patterns are currently available in my Etsy shop.

Replying to @The Stir-Crazy Crafter Wow, May kept me busy like no other month this year has! Let's talk May highlights:
I started out the month by going on a chocolate tour to celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend, I worked on quite a few embroidery projects, I ended up working a market only an hour after volunteering for it, but the highlight of the month was a week spent in the Yorkshire countryside with my boyfriend and his family.
As for my reading goal, I only read three books, mostly because I read The Count of Monte Cristo which is nearly 1,300 pages long. So it took me a few weeks to finish it.
Stay tuned for June updates! #embroidery #embroideryjournal

When it came time to updating my embroidery journal, I seemed to run into a familiar problem... I was running low on space for the rest of my May icons!
Now, this isn't actually a huge deal in the grand scheme of things. This is my fourth year making an embroidery journal and this happens more often than you think. However, it's relatively easy to fix.
To fix this minor issue, I tend to just shrink down my icons a fair amount. The circles that you see me make on the photo are more just a reassurance to myself that if need be, it's not the end of the world if I make my icons slightly bigger than they should be. So as you can see at the end of the video, one of my icons wasn't actually that small. Regardless, I can still easily fit in the remaining three icons for the month of May.
Check back on May 31st to see how my embroidery journal turned out!

Wilds With All Regrets is quite an interesting read. Although a bit slow, its a different type of plot than what i would normally opt for. It comes out on Jube 13th. Thanks to She Writes Press and NetGalley for this ARC.
I love being able to add new books to my cross stitcg reading tracker! #readinggoaltracker2023 #readinggoals2023 #embroidery

How do you track your books read? I use a combination of goodreads and my cross stitch reading goal tracker.
This is my second year making a reading goal tracker and I genuinely love it. It takes about 5 minutes to fill in each book. It's good reflection time after finishing a book.
I have this pattern and a few other reading goal tracker patterns available in my Etsy shop. This one is for 100 books, but I have a variety of reading goal patterns available.

I get it, embroidery journals are pretty cool, but at this point itll be quite difficult to catch up from january 1st. Instead, try following one pf these methods:
- The first day of the followinf month
- Follow the seasons. June 21st is the first day of Summer, so start then and embroider all the way through Spring 2024.
- Your birthday. Stitch your 28th or whatever year you’re approaching.

A few days ago, I celebrated my 28th birthday in the best way that I know how... with chocolate! My boyfriend and I drove to Edinburgh and took a trip to @chocolatarium. We learned all about the process of how chocolate is made, created our own chocolate bars, and were able to try a ton of different types of chocolate. I might have even left with a few extra bars of chocolate.
When it came to picking out an icon for my embroidery journal, it wasn't even a hard decision to stitch a chocolate bar. The tour was absolutely the most memorable thing that we got up to during the day. #embroideryjournal2023 #embroidery #embroideryjournal
