{inspired by} iviva olenick

I came across the Brooklyn native, embroidery artist Iviva Olenick while searching around 3rd Ward's classes and found her blog, Were I So Besotted.

I'm a big fan of embroidery {if you couldn't tell} and I'm really inspired by Iviva's pieces because they are so personal yet relatable. I hope you enjoy!

Good afternoon! How's everyone doing today? Hope you all had a nice weekend. I sure did! I will talk more about that later though :)

Today I am very inspired by Jenny Hart, an embroidery artist based in Austin Texas. I specifically love her embroidered portraits; the detail is simply amazing! Check out her Flickr to see more of her embroidery, or follow her blog!

pretty {sewn} things friday

Friday is here! Which means my vacation starts tomorrow! I am going to Cape Cod for the week. I am very excited to have some time off and relax, but I will try my best to keep posting while away.

Today's PTF is special, because the theme is all things sewn. Pretty adorable if you ask me.

Enjoy & happy weekend!

Sew Cute

I just came across these really awesome embroidered wedding invitations from ReadyMade. It makes me want to get married just so I can order these! Actually... that's a lie, but either way I want to do something like this!!! It's so inspiring but it overwhelms me when I want to make basically everything that I see.

I hope you like these as much as I like them!
