Hi again to another new social media platform 😊. I’m an author (of feminist historical fiction) and an artist (of lots of things but mostly cute dogs) and I’m excited for the idea of a nice place to meet real people without the usual creeping dread of being online 😅. Here’s my stuff!

Excited to jump back into more regular posting with #acoloradaypril Day 7, Pink! Here is one of my favorite things I ever #embroidered: this sweet pink jumpsuit with some #stitched strawberries 😊🍓🍰 #artsky

An #embroidered collar I made for my BFF, featuring her #stbernard and my #mutt 🥰. I’ve never done anything like this before and it was very hard but very fun and made her very happy so overall a success 😃 #embroidery #ArtSky #dogsofbluesky

Happy last day of #FebruARTy, pear! I don’t think I’ve ever stitched a pear before but I did #embroider this sweet girl on pear-colored fabric, sooo close enough?? 😅 This client wanted a matching jewelry pendant, which I thought was brilliant and so fun!

An embroidered portrait on light green fabric of a brown, white, and gold Yorkie dog named Olive wearing a bright red sparkly hair bow. Next to the larger embroidered hoop is a matching mini portrait of Olive set into a jewelry pendant. Both pieces lay on top of a fluffy white blanket

Thank you Bluesky for the lovely welcome to this #embroidery artist! Nearly all my pieces are commissions, which I open very infrequently, but starting RIGHT NOW I am running a commission lottery!

Thank you! This was for a client so I’ve never met Momiji but I always try my best to capture every animal’s sweet spirit 🥰

Happy #magenta day for #FebruARTy! Fun fact: this hot pink was so hot I had to cover it in white fabric while I stitched because it was messing up my rods and cones and changing my sense of color perception 🫠 #embroidery #catsofbluesky

Happy #FebruARTy day 25! For #ArtYear, here is an oldie of Momiji, a sweet little white dog stitched with *no* white thread, just shades of brown, blue, yellow, and pink! #embroidery #stitched

It’s Abby’s 12th #gotchaday! She is my favorite muse (and often my favorite child 😬), and I love her so much 🥰. Here are some of my favorite pieces featuring this best girl! #embroidery

Really wish I had a full-sized #orangecat for today’s #FebruARTy prompt, orange, but this lil #embroidery pendant will have to do 😻

I missed #FebruARTy 5, eyes, but honestly eyes are the most important (and hardest!) part of any of my pieces. I love when people ask how I attached glass eyes to my portraits and I can tell them it’s all done with needle and thread!

Thank you! If you have any questions about how I did it lmk! I love sharing techniques with embroidery-curious folk 😊
