Dom’s creative crushes

Hello fellow craft lovers!

Right now my creative crushes mostly revolve around embroidery and table numbers… Totally my obsessions at the moment. I’m also working on a post featuring some freakin’ awesome embroidery hoop art… You will have that to look forward to. 😉

1. I’ve had my iphone 5 for quite a few months now and I’m yet to choose a phone case! I am reluctant because it’s so pretty and white but its already getting a whole bunch of dings on the sides. I think I might finally cave and get one of Starcreature studio cases. Think this coral one if my fav. 🙂

2. Ahh, West Elm. Thank you for blessing our fine city with your awesomeness! I LOVE everything in this store! I would seriously be super stoked if one day I came home and it had turned into a West Elm show room. A private one of course. 😉 If you follow me on Instagram you will have seen these wooden ombre vases caught my eye. Looooove them!

3. Paulina of Conieco is SUCH an inspiration! If you haven’t seen her beautiful hand stitched birdies. Get over to her shop RIGHT NOW! They are amazing. Hopefully one day I can sew like her. So beautiful! 🙂

4. Still continuing along the embroidery line, I’m currently working on some embroidery hoop table number designs. So naturally I am inspired by the queen of embroidery hoop art Miss Danielle of The Merriweather Council. One of the first interviews I did for Crafted was with this amazing lady. Her work is incredible and the success that has of course come from this makes her such a great inspiration for anyone who wants to make a living from what they love. Keep up the awesomeness Danielle! 🙂

5. I’m currently hunting for vintage numbers! I’ve been making a bunch of table numbers for a few places recently and I really want to make some with vintage numbers. I think to do this well I need to have a beautiful collection of numbers on hand. Alas, my current lack of funds is hindering my collection progress… hopefully soon I can BUY not just gawk at beauties like this one from Gladys was a girl.
