Two weekends ago: #Charleston. Last weekend: #creativesouth2018. This weekend: I AINT DOING SQUAT. Except embroidery, research/development for my next bing project, chores, and #tuckfest2018. What is wrong with me 🙃 I listened to a podcast today about “scarcity” and the part where they talk about scarcity of time really hit home. They suggested scheduling a date night with yourself like once/twice a week and that sounds like a great idea. (at Charlotte, North Carolina)

When my masseuse asks me why I have so many kinks in my shoulders, I’ll just show them THIS. New piece this time featuring the amazing ADA LOVELACE ✨ if you’re wondering who Ada is, I don’t blame you: history as we’re taught is very white and male. Ada Lovelace is regarded as the FIRST computer programmer. I was inspired to make a portrait of her, an embroidered portrait of her in an iPhone X on Instagram because...I love being contradictory??? . . . #adalovelace #workinprogress #timelapsevideo #handembroidery #modernembroidery #contemporaryembroidery #handmade #makersgonnamake #stitchery #stitchersofinstagram #tallsara #womenofhistory (at Charlotte, North Carolina)

The very first version of this hoop was designed as a Christmas gift for my Mom cause she's a total boss (and a literal boss) 😎 Now a new version is up in the shop, the perfect gif for the #1 Boss (or Mom) in your life!⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #contemporaryembroidery #hoopart #fiberart #modernembroidery #stitchersgonnastitch #handembroidery #handlettering #handmade #girlboss #imaboss #embroideryart #dmcthreads #stitchery #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram ⠀

When you’re just trying to make a nice time lapse and your floss keeps knotting and your phone stops recording because of no storage 💩 #rude . . . #embroidery #contemporaryembroidery #embroideryart #hoopart #fiberart #modernembroidery #wip #workinprogress #timelapse #stitchery #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram #threadwork #wonderwoman #ww2017 #dccomics

Let me tell you a story: a friend commissioned this hoop for a bridal shower she hosted this past Saturday afternoon. As I was finishing the hoop, i.e. washing/ironing it, the red dye in the floss BLED ONTO THE WHITE FABRIC. (First time it ever happened - I blame some carelessness during the washing process like not using cold enough water). It was ruined. I had to scrap it and start all over again. Thankfully, I made the deadline and the new hoop resides with a happy customer. PHEW! . . . #workinprogress #wip #timelapse #embroideryart #contemporaryembroidery #modernembroidery #dmcthreads #makersgonnamake #makersofinstagram #stichery #embroideryhoop #hoopart #fiberart #tallsara

I am not skilled enough to do freehand embroidery, so I transfer my designs from paper to fabric with a pencil! . . . #handlettering #embroidery #handembroidery #needlework #contemporaryembroidery #modernembroidery #workinprogress #wip #tallsara

Is there a dog one too? Cause i love dogs more then cats! I should make this for my friend who does love cats and chocolate!

[thetallsara]

A dog one will is next on my “to-do” ;) Any suggestions for the breed of dog? Cats are easy to depict since most of them are the same shape. But dogs come in all different shapes!
