embroidery – Christina Hopgood

Day 22

March 23, 2009January 24, 2018 christinahopgood

One of my best friends ordered a pendant off my Etsy store! It’s my first sale (and probably my only sale) so I wanted to show my thanks. I made her a little pouch to keep the pendant in when it’s not being worn.

It’s made of a wide satin ribbon and trimmed with lace, embroidered with 3 strands of gold thread. First!

embroidery, thing-a-day

No, I didn’t make this today. I made it like twelve years ago. But it’s cute, and I found it and took a photo of it today.

Brooches!

I’ve been making brooches! But now I’ve given them all away. I even made a duckie one and gave it away BEFORE TAKING A PHOTO. Dumb dumb dumb.

First attempt.

Second attempt.

Third attempt.

I see an improvement! I think that the third is the best. Or you could say… a flower in the hand is worth a bird and another bird in a bush?
