Stitch Ideas!


My friend Shane(the embroidery master), showed me these Japanese embroidery/ cross stitch magazines that she got from the Japanese book store in Japan town, and I instantly fell in love! I can't believe they are called magazines because each issue is as big as a craft book and is chalked full of inspiration and beautiful pictures, its kind of amazing. I hope to someday have all of the issues!

I got issue 11 for Christmas(eeeeeeeek!)

This is such a cute heart sampler, I think you pass it around to your friends and each one stitches on a heart <3

I keep looking through the issue that I have and it just makes me so happy! I want to craft all day everyday and I want my house to look like all of the stitchy magic that's inside the magazine, someday! :)

If you haven't seen these magazines, you have to get one, you too will fall in LOVE.

Omg right they are way too good! Have you ever bought anything /ordered anything from them? I am madly in love with the metal birds on page 34, I have been trying everything to track those babies down! Any ideas?

Thankyou for sharing. I ordered issue 10 at the start of December and my poor postie is getting sick of me accosting him and asking where it is daily! These pics will tide me over for a few more days :)
