Just a little somethin-somethin to slow stich on in the evenings. What are you stitching on these days? Apparently I really like this green color. 😝💚 . . . . #slowstitch #slowstitching #stitcheveryday #woolappliqué #woolapplique #needleandthread #makersgonnashare #myhandsmaking #makersgonnamake #handcraeft #teadye #slowtextiles #woolfelt #stitchersofinstagram #quiltersofinstagram #theartofslowliving #creativehappylife #groningen #groningenlife #groningenstad #borduurwerk #craftymom #handcraft

I made an avocado dye bath last week and tried it out with aida cloth. Love the results! I’ll put these as well as some new sets of tapestry needles in the shop tomorrow morning. What natural dyes have you tried with aida cloth? #naturaldyeing #naturallydyed #plantdye #dyersofinstagram #indiedyer #myhandsmaking #handcraeft #makersgonnamake #makersgonnashare #avocadodye #fabricdyeing #slowtextiles #handdyed #plantmagic #crossstitchersofinstagram #crossstitching #xstitch #xstitcher #xstitchersofinstagram #stitchersofinstagram #embroiderersofinstagram #embroidery

I ❤️ receiving mail. Whether it’s a note or card from a friend, or a treasure I ordered from a shop, I always enjoy the anticipation of opening a package. I’ll always wrap your things nicely so you enjoy opening your package too, like these delightful bundles of wool thread headed to Seattle today. 😊 🎁❤️ #makersmovement #makersofinstagram #makersofinsta #embroiderersofinstagram #handembroidery #modernembroiderymovement #embroiderersguild #nicegirlsneedleclub #stitchersofinstagram #makesomethingeveryday #etsynl #modernmakers #threadart #prettypackages #groningen #handcraeft #handmade

I’m loving these new tins with black & white glass head pins! #plasticfreepackaging is a new focus for me this year, and little by little I’m looking for ways to be more #ecofriendly and #ecoresponsible with my business. Link in bio to the shop where you can get your own Handcraeft tin! 🌿💚🌱 #consciousliving #makersmovement #sewingnotions #handsewing #glassheadpins #quiltersofinstagram #modernmakers #sewingaddict #craftyaf #sewersofinstagram #sewersgonnasew #handcraeft #handcraft #etsynl #mothersdaygift #giftsformom #groningen #moederdagcadeau

Happy King’s Day, fellow Dutchies! This is the first year I can celebrate as an actual Dutch citizen! I kinda don’t like crowds, so we’re avoiding all the hoo-ha in the city and having a chill celebration at home. I just posted a new blogpost featuring @marliesdinnissenjewelry , so if you have a sec, plz check it out! Link in bio. 🧡 #koningsdag #koningsdaggroningen #koningsdag2019 #kingsday #kingsday2019 #groningenlife #groningenstad #cityofgroningen #ergaatnietsbovengroningen #groningencity #nothingtopsgroningen

Hey local slow stitchers, the table is set and I’m all ready for tomorrow evening’s slow stitch gathering. There are two spots left, so if you’d like to come, pop on over to the site (link in bio) and RSVP now! I’ll be doing a wool appliqué demo, so if want to join in, bring some wool and appliqué tools. I’ve got supplies for sale if you need them. 🖤 See ya tomorrow friends! * * * * #slowstitching #slowstitch #slowstitchmovement #handcraeft #handmade #handcraft #handcraftshop #quilting #handquilting #woolapplique #woolappliqué #naturaldye #naturaldyed #plantdye #plantdyes #creativehappylife #makersgonnamake #makerspace #makersvillage #etsynl #makersgonnashare #groningen #groningenstad #groningencity #cityofgroningen #workshopspace
