❀❀❀ Teenage Discomfort (My Dear Diary) ❀❀❀

❀❀❀Hello!
https://www.etsy.com/listing/542793304/my-dear-diary-90s-toy-childhood?ref=shop_home_active_1

It's been a while since I started working on this patch, now it makes me really happy to see it completed. ❀ Check it out on Etsy!

I wanted to celebrate adolescence with a patch, in a wave of both nostalgia and cringe for those very confused years. What more appropriate than a secret diary, better if in a 90s plastic toy form!?❀
I used to have two of them, the first one was so technologic and functional that it made me idealize technology for all my teenage years. When it broke I replaced it with a simpler and a lot less interesting one that, nonetheless, served its purpose very well. Both were pink, of course!❀
This patch is a 3D object, it means that it can be enjoyed on both sides, you can attach it to the fabric by sewing around the bottom part of the patch, so that you can fold the cover over and close the diary. If you are brave you could add a snap button to keep it closed and, when the moment is right, surprise every 90's friend showing off the inside of the patch.❀


The patch measures about 3,5 x 4,5 inches / 9 x 11 cm.❀






❀❀Thank you for visiting my blog!❀❀

❀ No Gods No Masters felt patches ✿

❀✿Hello!

Recently came up with this idea of a round patch, but didn't really know how to finish the edges. While 1euro-shopping I found a glorious, beautifully tacky textile flower glitter tape, so after messing a bit with it this patches happened! Aren't they cute?❀




And there's also a 'pinker' version, of course!❀✿



 ❀✿Check them out on my shop!
 Enjoy!❀✿

✿ Bunny in progress!

✿Hi!

I tried to replicate the cheeky bunny patch I made a while ago, and to be honest it really looks alike, even if smaller.

 And here are my hands, stitching this baby heart cheeks!✿
Enjoyeee✿

☼Summer days by the sea + birthday♥

♥Hello there,
 it's been a while!♥

Last month I spent a couple of weeks at my home town, which is a pretty seaside town, for my birthday! Had the chance to swim and sunbathe, play with my little niece and spend time with my family. But even if there were busy days the embroidery never stops and here are some pics of the works in progress during this awesome weeks!





 
Started this new 'My Dear Diary' design for a 90s toy themed patch and took it with me the first day I went to the sea.
Also, there a new cheeky bunny in progress:


The sea was irresistible!


 And, for my birthday, my parents made me this incredibly cute cake! Absolutely my style, it was awesome to celebrate my shop during my party, this year is it's 3rd birthday and I can't believe it, it seems like yesterday that I opened it! Here's the cake!

☆✧current working playlist☆✧

☆✧ Hello, ☆✧
In the morning I can't help but lipsync-ing my favourite songs of the moment while getting ready to work, it makes it more cheerful! A little dancing in the morning makes everything better, right?
☆
This is my current playlist, feeling really 80's new wave hits recently:

☆5- Kim Wilde - Kids In America


☆4- Strawberry Switchblade - Since Yesterday
 
☆3- The The - Uncertain Smile
☆2- Tears For Fears - Pale Shelter


☆1- Siouxsie and The Banshees - Spellbound


☆I also find it sweet to listen to a long mixtape during the day,
it's a great way to know new songs or remember good ones you forgot!

Even pulled the denim jacket out of the closet and I'm desperately looking for a hair-crimper... is that too much?

I'll be back with the 90's playlist as well, it will surely be all dance.

A walk through the peatlands☆✧

Hi!

Currently sitting home with the flu, sneezing and watching the wonderful sunny day outside the window... at least there's the perfect light for embroidering!
Before getting sick, a couple weeks ago we decided to skip the bus and walked our way to the shops and groceries through the near peatlands. It was a beautiful sunny day like today, here for some pics:



Some spooky views as well!

☆☼ Imaginary Solar System Patch ☼☆

Hi there☼☆

Tried to transform a little negative energy into something cute, as always.☆

This time the idea came from the recent discovery of TRAPPIST-1 solar system and the exoplanets, where there might be or might have been life.☆
Thought about how useful and at the same time useless this discovery was: we humans will never learn how to live together in just one planet and don't need to find other worlds to mess up (yeah I like to think about a lot of weird stuff).☆



Imagined and embroidered this pink solar system and added a little destructive saying.
I used a lot of different pinks and lilac shades, a little bit of silver thread, some beads and sequins.☆



Enjoy!☆

✨ Disarm foam pin ✨

Hi✨
Made this pin a while ago but for many non bloggable reasons I am uploading it just now. Was about time!
Here's the ''Disarm'' one, probably one of my favourite words and concepts:

It was made with foam, exactly like the Black Moon one. 
Also props to this new background that is really visually pleasing and a little tripod that makes taking pics much easier: With that it would be lovely to film the process of embroidery someday, need more practice and bright daylight to do that though)✨ 

Back to the pin (and first attempts at videos🙈):

 
 
  Enjoy✨

☆☾✧Black Moon Foam Pin☆☾✧

☆Hello there!✧

I finally started making pins! Found this foam material that I can easily cut and decorate through embroidery. The results are flexible, lightweight (they can be placed on delicate garments like a wool jumper without pulling down the threads) and totally customizable pins.☆☾

Thought I'd tested them before selling so I made a couple pins for my own jumper and then travelled for a couple days, they stayed on no problem and survived brilliantly an hc trip.☆☾



Enjoy! ☆☾✧
