5/31 Intro to Indigo Dyeing at @picketfenceartstudio⁠
If you love dyeing things or just want to create playful patterns, then try indigo dye. I’ll show you how to bind and fold your fabric to create playful patterns. You can also bring additional natural fiber items to dye (cotton, linen, hemp, silk, wool, etc).⁠

Have you been keeping up with the new stitch tutorial videos getting added to the website?⁠

  • Under the Sea- New Advanced Embroidery Kit⁠
⁠
One of the squares on my 2025 business bingo card is to ‘Create 3 new advanced embroidery kits’. With this new Under the Sea embroidery kit, I’m one third closer to crossing this square off. So give a nice big welcome to Under the Sea, a new advanced raised stitching embroidery kit that’s now part of the MCreativeJ collection!⁠
⁠
Under the Sea was inspired by trips to Hawaii and snorkeling in clear waters. While it’s been a few years since I’ve been to the islands, I was reminded of these tropical adventures when I received a wedding invitation. Funnily enough, I’ve only ever been to the Hawaiian islands for weddings.

  • Ya girl is deep in edits for her third book. And by deep I mean 192 pages deep. Did I think this book would be big, yes. Did I think it’d be this big... no. Clearly I tried to pack a lot of information details and content in here for you. ⁠
⁠
But in other news, it’s looking sooooo good and I can’t wait for it to be finished and printed.
