💐 There's still time to order an embroidery kit for mum 💐
Tomorrow afternoon is my last post office trip before Mother's day!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This bee & lavender embroidery kit has been popular 🐝
I got a lovely review about this kit recently which makes me so happy to read.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Heather said:
"I hope to start both kits in time for Mother's Day, if not by then, then for Birthdays. The goods were received quickly and in good condition. Although I have not started embroidering yet, I have looked through everything and the instructions are very clear. I had some questions and Lauren immediately gave some good advice and was very helpful. I can't wait to start."
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you all know, I'm only a message away if you have any questions about your embroidery kit

I've got a pet portrait to start next week which I'm looking forward to 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These portraits take A LOT of time to make and usually take 3-4 entire days to embroider from start to finish 😱 I often pace myself so my body gets plenty of rest time to recover
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love doing them and hearing the lovely stories about your babies 🥰 It makes me feel so proud and honoured that you're trusting me with such a precious keepsake ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm going to be taking on less portraits for now until I get used to my 'new normal'. So if you'd like to commission a portrait, reach out to me and I can get you booked in

My first embroidery pattern was this seasonal floral bouquet and it's been a favourite since 🌹
I'm really proud that it's been featured within several magazines this year including @molliemakes @yorkshirelifemag and most recently this month in @countryhomesmag
Which is your favourite colour scheme? Autumn burn or winter blues?

Anyone else a last minute shopper? I know I am 😅
Digital illustrations aren't something I talk about much so I thought I'd give them a bit of screen time for a change
You just need to send me a photo, I'll draw it and send you the files to print at home. And there's no waiting for shipping... I can get a few of these done over the next couple of days if you'd like me to do one for you 🥰
Anyone else leave gifts till the last minute? I do it all the time

From start to finish on Marley's portrait 🐾 Th

From start to finish on Marley's portrait 🐾
There's 5 steps I go through when making a pet portrait:
1️⃣ I turn your favourite photo into a drawing for you to approve - it's important you're happy with it as this is what I'll work from!
2️⃣ I transfer the drawing onto fabric - I don't have a light pad so I use my laptop screen to draw on the fabric 🤷 (I draw VERY carefully)
3️⃣ I crack on with the embroidery! At the end I remove the pen marks with a hairdryer and send you a quick photo of how it's looking
4️⃣ I then secure the fabric with glue to the hoop so it doesn't loosen over time
5️⃣ Once a portrait is finished, I'll package it up in tissue paper, a gift box and a little note from me 🥰 My packaging is made from recycled materials that comes from a sustainable forest, and can also be recycled again!
Pet portraits are a really personal thing so I want to be as transparent about whole process as I can so you know exactly what you're getting 😊
And did you know, you could make your own pet portrait like this too? I'll do the drawing and send you the supplies and instructions to make it yourself, would you like to try a kit? Learn all about it at the link in my bio

It all begins by turning a photo into a drawing 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All portraits start with a photo. And when you send me your favourite photos of your babies, I can turn that into an outline drawing - this is what I'll use to guide me when I start to embroider!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Once the outline drawing is done, I'll always send it over to you for approval (this is so I know you're 100% happy with it before I start the embroidery 😊️)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On a mini side note - I know it's not always possible to have clear photos available or you can't take any new ones. So if you're struggling to find clear photos reach out beforehand with what you've got 🥰 I can often work with you to make sure it's just as you'd imagined!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can order your own outline portrait embroidery through the link in my bio! You can choose to have it done for you (by me), or get a custom embroidery kit where you can make your own pet portrait 🐾

Buster's portrait is currently in my embroidery stand 🐾
I love taking my clients through the process of the portrait and getting their thoughts and feedback on each stage. It's important for me to get you involved to make sure the portrait is exactly as you'd imagined 🥰
I've got a few outline portraits like this to do over the next week, would you like me to share the whole process with you? 😊
If you swipe through the images, you'll see the reference photo I was given and the initial drawing I did from it!
