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

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!!

At this point I think it’s clear that this is way more than a hobby, and way more than a business.
It’s part of my 🫀
It’s vocation to creativity.
A pledge to make the world a little better, one stitch at a time 🪡
Have a great Sunday!!!
