About Me
I started hand embroidering gifts for friends and family.
Honestly, they were pretty bad, but they help me practice and practice and eventually get better with the craft.
Throughout this exploration process, I fell in love with the possibilities of the thread and the needle and started to create more elaborated designs, mixing with acrylic or watercolor painting, beading, appliqués or felt patches from time to time.
Currently I do commission works and teach workshops around my community
If you want to learn more about my journey and my art, see my complete “About Me” page.

I started doing hand embroidery in late 2018 and early 2019.
But, like many of us, it was during the pandemic in 2020 when I really got into it.
Like many families, we were pretty isolated at home because my son is high risk.
So I started scrolling, and reading, and signing up for online classes, taking webinars, and then reading some more, and practicing, practicing, practicing, practicing, practicing, practicing, practicing…
In the end, more than a making money stream, hand embroidery became my sanity.
My piece of heaven in a very (VERY!) uncertain and chaotic world.
And still is (my sanity, and a VERY uncertain world).
So yes, I do it for them, but mostly for me.
To be able to be for them.
No one can give what they do not have.

Happy Sunday!!
Here’s 47 seconds of hand embroidery IRL🙌♥️🙌
On this video, I’m stitching the final letter on the word ‘Love’ with back running stitch which is a pretty easy stitch, and then tying the thread in the back to cut the remnant.
So now let’s calculate: this small section took me 47 seconds to stitch, the whole letter ‘e’ took me about 3 to 5 minutes, so probably about 15 to 20 minutes to finish the word. And this is a small 3 inch hand embroidery hoop, so a relatively small sized project.
This is why I always say in every single class/workshop that hand embroidery is a slow craft. And it will always be. That’s its own nature. And that makes it so special.
You really need to just take your time, or else, your stitches will show that you were rushing.
Use the craft as a way to provide yourself a break from the everyday, get out of your head and just stitch.
Los wacho soon!!
