I stopped by @keiandmollytextiles yesterday to pick up fabric to make more of these beauties. So glad you’re liking them!

All the pincushions and bins are made from leftover Kei & Molly fabric, and are available at their gift shop on Silver and on their website.

I’m partial to The Fugees version, how about you?

New stuffies!

Sometimes people smell them because they think they’re filled with lavender (they’re not) and sometimes people get them to use as pincushions (I’m for it). Whatever you want them for, they will be there for you.

All the butterflies. I didn’t set out to make a little collection, but it looks like I did.

Sometimes when sourcing things secondhand to embroider, you find new trucker hats with cardboard forms still in them, which your son naturally makes a mask out of.

I’m happy to share that I have partnered with Kei & Molly Textiles to create pincushions and fabric bins out of their leftover fabric for sale in their store.

I have admired their lovely colorful prints for a long time, and it was so fun to get my hands on their fabric.

Longhorn skulls are a symbol of strength, power and resilience. They also look like the female reproductive system. That should probably be talked about more.

This old thesaurus page got a few words wrong under weakness, but maybe it can be a reminder, a little fuel for the fire.
