November is here! We have a short list this month due to the holidays. New to Hastystitch? This is an embroidery challenge for stitchers of all levels. Use the list as a spring board for creativity. Take a pic with Instagram and tag with #hastystitch. Share this list with your world!
Light as a feather, quick as a plane. The beauty and simplicity of little paper airplanes! This carefree little pattern is hand stitched on white cotton fabric in red split stitches. Stretched and permanently displayed on a 6" wooden hoop.
I can barely keep up with my Instagram addiction. Here is a round-up of my favorite "Green Themed" Instagram shots that I've taken over the past two years.
I made this photo booth several months back for a local fundraiser. I was able to find all of these items between my two favorite antique shops in Kansas City. I grabbed a great piece of fabric for a backdrop, frame, vintage hats, scarves, gloves, and a vintage camera. It's an instant set-up for a DIY photo booth.
Guess who wants to go to LA to compete? THIS GIRL! Stay tuned for information on my upcoming semi-finalist competition on Nov. 15th in Kansas City, at the Uptown Theater. Your attendance vote in addition to to the paneled judges can send me packing my embroidery bags to Los Angeles to compete!
New brains are pouring out of the shop! Check out the new listings on Etsy. These are sold individually or as sets. Tons of color combos available upon request! Visit my the Hey Paul Shop here. Send me a convo for custom requests.
For those of you who follow me on any social media outlet, you know that I am not a slacker on documenting the happenings around Hey Paul Studios and beyond. I tend to forget to post most updates on this blog. Here is an overview of what's happening and what you can look forward to in the coming months.
Retail hours! Honeytree Gallery in Kansas City now has regular retail hours on Saturdays from Noon-6pm. Stop by to see my pieces and art work from several other area artists. Tell Kate that Hey Paul sent you!
I'm adding "apron maker" to my list. These anatomical aprons went over so well at the First Friday Art Market last night. I will be stitching up more! Anticipate more fabric colors, variety of sizes, and pockets.
Finally, plans for the new year are already in the works. 2013 is going to bring many new and exciting opportunities. Many collaborative projects are in the works, a blog makeover is being plotted, and more of a local presence will be felt. Stay tuned for more!
