Bristol Balloons

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

Pretty Bristol houses, beautiful Liberty print, hot air balloons … so many lovely things all in one picture, and a little reminder for me that heading home isn’t so bad!
.
This is available to buy as cards, A4 prints, embellished prints (with an extra hot air balloon embroidered on to the print) … and actually, I also since I’ve moved my workshop back to my house, i have the original that’s looking for a good home (drop me a DM if you’re interested if you’d like to save it from a life of being shut away in a cupboard – it’s about A0 size… I can measure if you’re interested!)

Marmite

As I’m currently scouring spanish supermarkets for culinary inspiration, today is a Foodie Friday throwback … every time I post this picture it makes me want to eat marmite on toast (I quite firmly fall in to the love camp!!) Happy Friday xx

See the good

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

We are becoming increasingly familiar with the concept of brain plasticity; that learning something new creates connections in our brain and that when practiced regularly, these connections become stronger and easier to activate. Typically we associate these changes with learning a tangible skill, whether that’s practising an instrument, learning a language, or playing a sport.
.
But in the same way that we can train our brains to learn a new skill, we can also train ourselves to see things more positively. Interventions that over time can re-wire our brains to see things more positively include practising mindfulness, doing something nice (acts of kindness boost happiness levels) consciously recognising 3 positives from our day … what do you do to see the good?

Yes you can

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

I’m not sure I’d advocate kicking off your week with a fizzy drink, but a can of positivity I can definitely get behind! (I also couldn’t have a three word quote involving the word can without having a can of something, could I?!)
.
Did you know that the Coca Cola logo is based on a font called Spencerian script, which was popular in America between 1850 and 1925? I just love playing with and stitching different fonts! .
Have a great Monday xx

Pilchards

My daughter was talking to me recently about my job… because she couldn’t really understand it; she knew I liked sewing, but what did that have to do with text messages? who do I text all day? How many texts do I send? Eventually the penny dropped, and I explained what the word textile means ? Oh Amélie, you lovely, funny little pilchard
.
Happy Friday everyone xx

Finding motivation

by | posted in: Emstagram | 0

Do you struggle to get started? Or maybe find it difficult to stay on track and keep motivated? Are you in more of a positivity place/keep going crescent mood or are you sitting in daydream drive? Either way, here’s just the map for you!
.
As this is my third A to Z picture, I decided to use a different layout this time – since starting to make these pictures, I’ve discovered there are a surprising number of layout variations on – who knew?! .
The next picture I make for this series (once I finish this one off of course!) will be on a larger scale, as this time I’ll be making one of the street maps inside the street atlas. And if you are local (or maybe even if you aren’t, but fancy a visit) you can watch me make it; Bristol Museum is hosting a stage of the V&A Woman’s hour craft prize touring exhibition, and I am very exited to have been selected to work in the make space attached to the show on the 19th July – which is my news for just a card week day 4!
.

Made using a selection of my beloved @aurifilthread and @libertylondon Lawns on my @janomeuk SMD3000
