PRETTY PEONIES

My favorite part about a Bride shoot is the leftover flowers. (Also, the leftover cupcakes). 

NOT SO RECENT WORK

These are a couple pieces I created awhile back, as a pitch for a story about custom monogrammed pieces for a wedding reception. Take a Megabite collaborated with me on the cross-stitch cookies (girl has got baking skills), and I hand stitched the table runner and cross-stitched fabric in embroidery hoops. The “light-bright” initials were made out of pegboard and christmas lights. Photographs by Martin Vecchio:

CROSS-STITCHED SKATEBOARD

My skateboard for the Good Wood art show is all done. I drilled holes in the board, and then used yarn to cross-stitch the type (which I designed on the computer). Thanks to my friend Ted who taught me to use the drill press at Omni Corp. All of the skateboards for the show can be bid on here, beginning on May 19th. The proceeds will be donated to Power House Productions Ride It Sculpture Park in Detroit:

NEW PROJECT

Here’s the beginning of a new cross-stitch project I’m working on for “Good Wood” a skateboard exhibition that will be in Hamtramck soon. I’ll post more photos once it’s done!

HIGH FIVE!

I’m pretty good at high fiving - turns out my dog is, too:

ANCHOR TAKE TWO

This is a cross-stitch I made for a friend to give to her mom as a birthday present. It was custom made for her lake house which is currently being decorated… I love the neon yellow yarn:

HUSTLED BY LOVELY PACKAGING

I’ll spend $8 on chocolate, but only if the packaging is well designed. Love this Mast Brothers Chocolate.

FLY LIKE PAPER, GET HIGH LIKE PLANES

This one was made for a friend’s baby shower gift. It’s now available in my shop, and custom colors can be made:

VINTAGE FABRIC

My grandma gave me a bunch of her vintage fabric when I helped her move, this one is my favorite:
