Running a small business, I find myself doing all the things but embroidery most of the time. And when I do get to sit down and stitch something it’s usually late at night, when I have nothing prepped, and all I want to do it start stitching.
I’m sure many makers can relate, even if you don’t run a small business. Gathering the right materials, designing the pattern, and prepping everything are all steps that need to be done before you can even take your first stitch.
Thankfully craft kits have everything ready for you to get going. I wish the ideas in my head came out fully formed as a kit. It would make my night time stitching so much easier!
If you want to pick up an embroidery kit for your next late night crafting session (or any time really), I’ll be at @urbancraftuprising summer show this weekend!

Have you checked out any of the new stitch tutorials on my blog lately?
In just the last few weeks you could learn turkey work, burden, plaid filling, and woven detached picot chain stitches.
These tutorials are on my blog in the Embroidery Stitches section. Each tutorial walks you through the stitch with step-by-step photos as well as with a video tutorial.
My embroidery blog now has over 70 stitch tutorials for you to try, with more on the way.
Happy stitching!

The purple starfish needed a friend.
This duo may soon be a trio too. We’ll see how quickly I can stitch up another 3D starfish.
What color should their next stumpwork buddy be?

Dye, dye, dye! All the things blue.
This week we’re dyeing all the things in an indigo dye class at @monstermonstershop.
You can join us on July 24th! We’ll explore binding and folding fabric to create patterns in blue.
This beginner-friendly class is hands on and tons of fun. You’ll receive four tea towels to dye in class and are also welcome to bring additional natural fiber items to dye as well. Just no bedsheets, please.

Here’e why you don’t need things- you need experiences.
Crafting isn’t just stuff, it’s a relaxing and joyful experience. It helps you learn a new skill, break away from technology, and make time for yourself.
Whether it’s 15 minutes or 2 hours, time spent using your hands to make something is important.
Need something to get you started? MCreativeJ has hand embroidery kits, patterns, books, and supplies to help you get stitching. Plus, there are hundreds of stitch videos, tutorials, and projects available for free on my website.
Let’s get stitching together!
