My favorite thing about commissions is when the customer asks for something I'be never thought to make before. This cute "oil buddy" monster has a brain that pops out so you can add a few drops of essential oil. He and five of my diffuser clips are perfect for a DoTERRA wellness advocate and her awesome team! . . . #monsterobsessed #handembroidery #handmadeaccessory #handmadetoy #essentialoils #doterra #oilbuddy #diffuser #portablediffuser #commission #madebyme #handmadewithlove

I've had to keep this project under wraps because it was a surprise gift for an amazing team of educators, but now I can show off the results! The whole group was difficult to photograph together but they look amazing as a full spectrum. All seven are hand-stitched to get those cute exposed edges. . . . #handstitching #handmadetoy #handmadewithlove #stuffedtoy #rainbow #rainbowunicorns #❤️💛💚💙💜 #commissionedart #unicorn #fantasytoy #etsyseller #girlboss

Stitching through a canvas backpack means busting out the big needle! . . . #handembroidery #monogram #handmadewithlove #workinprogress #wip #handstitching #customizing #schoolyearprep

Trying to design a custom initial for my boy who is currently obsessed with sea creatures. So far the only thing I'm happy with is the octopus, and that's not his favorite sea animal, it's mine. Whoops. Just keep sketching, just keep sketching... . . . #embroiderypattern #handembroidery #designing #sketching #marinelife #underwater #oceanlife #handmadewithlove #whatamithinking

I cannot believe this gorgeous dragon is still here with me! It was so much fun to make, and I would love to see it in a great home.

Migraines are awful, but at least I have a cat and some rainbow crochet to get me through. . . . #babyontheway #rainbowbaby #❤️💛💚💙💜 #crochetersofinstagram #babycrafts #babyblanket #catsofinstagram #lapcat #shethinkssheshelping

My Insta hasn't had many crafts on it for a few months because so-called "morning" sickness had me suffering 24/7! Thank goodness I'm finally back to my usual self- building babies is hard work. I'm diving right back into work but I'm in the middle of a surprise commission, so all I can show for now is this WIP for our new family member- the first strand for his own rainbow baby mobile! . . . #handembroidery #felttoys #handmadebabygifts #babymobile #handmadenursery #rainbow #❤️💛💚💙💜 #rainbowbaby #bluebirdofhappiness #babycrafts #babyontheway

Buckles were just the beginning- next box unearthed ten of these beauties! 😍 #vintagenotions #vintagecraftsupplies #1970sfashion #vintagecraftsupplies #vintagebuttons

[sunshinesewing]

Nearly done cleaning buckles, it has been a real labor of love! Check out the classy #motherofpearl detail on this beauty- I have 17 of this style ready as-is and 9 more hoping a little more intensive scrubbing can save them. #vintageforsale #notionsforsale #vintagecraftsupplies #1970sfashion #vintagenotions #vintagebeltbuckle

I just might be the luckiest crafter in the world right now! My grandfather-in-law used to own a shop, and this weekend he gave me the last of the inventory he had held on to. I have boxes upon boxes of buttons, appliqués, and buckles from the early 1970s to sort through! I do plan to incorporate some into my own crafts, but there are too many for just me so I will be selling many of them. I'll post pictures as I get through them all, so if you spot anything you want to claim wary just DM me! #vintagenotions #1970sfashion #vintagecraftsupplies #notionsforsale #vintageforsale

Stitching, watching baking shows, and getting cuddles from these two. I call that a good morning. #catjail #catsofinstagram #catcuddles #stitchersofinstagram #mondaymorning

At age 30, you’ve spent a month having birthdays.

I couldn't possibly resist these cute #manekineko themed stickers for my business to-do lists. May they bring good fortune to my endeavors! #bujo #bulletjournal #girlboss #jamberryconsultant #etsyseller #luckycat

Time to confess... I'm terrible about having my craft supplies "properly" organized. I had all my embroidery floss stored in a plastic baggie, but it had finally outgrown my makeshift solution. One $1 bobbin winder and a long weekend later, it looks much better! And now it is obvious to me that I need to start using up those pinks and yellows... #beforeandafter #mustbeinrainboworder #embroidery #stitchersofinstagram #handembroidery #organization #craftsupplies #embroideryfloss #rainbow

NASA astronaut Karen Nyberg is a self proclaimed crafter. A week ago she made a stuffed dinosaur from scraps on the space station. The little T-rex is made form the lining of Russian food containers and the toy is stuffed with scraps from an old T-shirt. While many toys have flown into space, this is the first produced in space.
