Shades Of Brandy

[shadesofbrandy]

I think this is almond oil. I’m infusing #roses #lavender #rosemary. This is why you should label everything - you may forget which oil you used. I started this in February. Almost ready. #herbs #mountainroseherbs #herbal

Olive oil infused with #calendula. I started this some time in February.

Working on refurbishing this corduroy jacket. It's also my #throwbackthursday At this point I'm adding the patches and basic stitches #visiblemending #borostitch #embroidery #handembroidery

I have been watching a lot of #spiritcloth class vids and thought about a round weave. I meant to take before images but forgot. 2 circles. One cut into wedges - odd number worked best and one cut into a spiral. I wove the wedges into the spiral. Inspired by @spiritcloth Reading her blog today made me want to post it.

This jacket is over 15 yrs old so it's worn out in a few places. I don't want to throw it out so I'm patching it, using some #visiblemending and some #borostitch

Christmas stocking in the works. Fabric is #frostyflamingo by @laurasewmodern of @studio37fabrics. There are some things I want to fix but it's a good start.

Fun #handembroidery project from leftover fabric. This fabric is expensive so I figured I should make something. #embroidery #satinstitch #handmade

[shadesofbrandy]

I decided to practice my #embroidery on this scrap that was leftover from another project. There are mistakes but it is looking good. #handembroidery #fiberart #quilt #handmade

My #marcusmugshot mug rug with mug. #mostlymanor #marcusfabrics #newagedmuslin

#marcusmugshot Mugrug made with #newagedmuslin and #mostlymanor. The back and binding is #medallionmuse but you may not find it in stores. I've been practicing my embroidery. I totally improvised this & I think it came out ok.
