I had my second vaccination today and now am feeling a little sore and rather tired…not as bad as last time, but enough to not want to risk working on my new piece 🥱😴😵‍💫 So this weekend I’m stitching another Beehive Needleroll, but this time I’m going to tweak it a little…a very little, but it will look different when it’s finished! 😄🌸🐝 . Also pictured: Beehive Notebook and Topiary Cornucopia. To order any of these, click on the image, visit bluecoppice.com or message me for details 🌳🌸🐝 . #bluecoppice #honeyapplemeadow #countedthreadembroidery #stayhomeandstitch #bewellandstitch #beestitching #beehive #stitchersofinstagram #samplerstitchersofinstagram #stitchingsmalls #needleworkaccessories #needleroll #pincushion #xstitch #crossstitch #crossstitchersofinstagram #dmcthreads #zweigartlinen (at Rugby, Warwickshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRKDRTgL3VB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Any embroiderer will tell you that one of the most important #needleworkaccessories is a decent pair of #scissors - and these need to be kept safe...once they’ve been used to cut paper, they’ll never be the same again! 😱 An embroidered scissor case is the perfect way to distinguish these scissors from the general household pairs... ✂️✂️✂️ . The lightly Peas on Earth Scissor Case has felt tucked inside the inner and outer layers to protect your precious pair, while delicate #peaplants and #peaflowers twist and twine around bamboo supports...keep your scissors in here and no one will ever confuse them with the kitchen pair again! 🌱🌱🐝 . . #bluecoppice #honeyapplemeadow #peasonearth #scissorcase #stitchingsmalls #kitchengarden #peapods #bees #countedthreadembroidery #countedthreadwork #handembroidery #embroiderydesign #crossstitchsmalls #embroidery #dmcthreads #perminlinen #ditsyprint https://www.instagram.com/p/CEzVSEnHOst/?igshid=15b3ve3jfytja

If the Beehive Notebook is a little on the large side for you, the Topiary Cornucopia might be more what you’re looking for...if you have lots of #needles and don’t need space for a #threadcutter or #needlethreader, add more flaps with felt pages or simply line the whole inside with #woolfelt and leave out the interior stitching! . That’s the great thing about stitching - you can customise every piece to your own needs 😍 .

The Bobbin Box for Bees was originally designed for @sandiwoodsdesigner to hold some of her most precious #lacebobbins - but it’s also the perfect size for #scissors #embroiderythreads #thimbles #beeswax #needles and all sorts of other #needlework items 😃 And, because both the base and lid are double-lined, it’s deceptively strong and can withstand being knocked off a table (or is that just my cat’s favourite hobby?) while keeping everything safe inside! .

Once I’d finished the Floral Sampler, I found I couldn’t stop designing pieces with #beehives...some have made it to the outside world, like this basket of honey-flavoured goodies, but I’ve got lots more lurking in my #sketchbook...😁🐝🐝🐝 .

This is how I finished the over-one version of the Crowns and Flowers Sampler - doesn’t it make a cute #cushion? 😃 I’ve tucked it into one of my favourite baskets with the Peas on Earth collection of #needleworkaccessories - all out of the way of thieving little cats...😼😼 . On 36ct linen, this version is approximately 6 inches square so it’s perfect for me to take to shows - much smaller and more portable than the original framed antique! . This #sampler is all worked in #crossstitch so unlike most of my other pieces, could be worked on #aida instead of #linen. I charted it for #dmcthreads as they’re easily available in the UK, but if you’re lucky enough to have a well-stocked #localneedleworkstore you could convert to #silks for a really luxurious finish...🤤 .

Keep your needles safe in the felt concertina pages of the Peas on Earth #needlecase - I added three leaves, but the ribbon ties mean you could add many more if you have an extensive #needle collection...🌱🌱🌱 . I sketch my ideas out in pencil before starting to stitch and very often will make prototypes out of paper too. This piece was more straightforward to construct than some so a simple sketch was all I needed! .

I’ve got a new toy!! The wonderful Ben Archer from www.ararcherltd.co.uk (or AR Archer Lace Bobbins on Facebook) has made me the most bee-autiful laying tool all covered in bees and daisies, and topped with a beehive fit for a queen…🐝🐝🐝 . The end is sharp enough to decorate a pin cushion but blunt enough not to catch on threads and the fantastic decoration makes the handle nicely grippy (official technical term) so it doesn’t slip while you’re manipulating it. I gave it a test run this weekend and it passed with flying colours 🤩 And as you can see, it’s a perfect match to my Beehive Pin Drum (apologies for the dark pics - it’s been a very dull few days!) 🐝🐝🐝 . This is a prototype and isn’t in his catalogue yet, so if you’re interested, drop him a line through Facebook or email archerbobs@aol.com 💐🐝 . #bluecoppice #honeyapplemeadow #beehive #pindrum #needleroll #embroiderytools #layingtool #needleworkaccessories #stitchingsmalls (at Rugby, Warwickshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWT3_KzNYIT/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 23 of #marchmeetthemaker - job/s . One of my jobs is to prepare materials packs for the Floral Pincushion and my range of Miniature Motifs ✂️📏🪡 . 32ct or 56ct Zweigart linen is cut into squares, lengths of DMC floss and Kreinik Blending Filament are cut and gold-plated needles are carefully tucked into felt before everything’s wrapped up in a tissue paper parcel, sometimes with a wooden hoop too. . It’s an very economical way to experiment with linen - with careful placement it’s possible to fit three Miniature Motifs on the piece of 32ct and five on the piece of 56ct. And since the 56ct is the perfect size to make buttons, that’s enough buttons to finish a jacket or cardigan!🧵🧵🧵 . I’ve got some more linen on the way, so this weekend my trusty pinking shears are going to have some work to do...🤩 . To order the Floral Pincushion or any of the Miniature Motifs (with or without materials packs and hoop), visit bluecoppice.com or message me for details 🐝🐝🐝 . . #bluecoppice #honeyapplemeadow #miniaturemotifs #samplerstitchersofinstagram #embroiderersofinstagram #crossstitchersofinstagram #xstitchersofinstagram #xstitching #crossstitch #countedthreadembroidery #raisedembroidery #stitchingsmalls #needleworkaccessories #samplers #pincushion #stayhomeandstitch #bewellandstitch #zweigartlinen #dmcthreads #needlecase (at Rugby, Warwickshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMxkLV5nmYj/?igshid=mlwt5u8gmocp

Day 22 of #marchmeetthemaker - hands on . As you might imagine, being a hand embroiderer means everything is pretty hands-on. I sketch my initial ideas by hand, create the charts by hand, type instructions and draw diagrams and of course hand-stitch and construct all my own models - I even write notes to every customer by hand, using a beautiful fountain pen filled with blue ink for Blue Coppice... . And finally all those little adjustments during photo shoots have to be done by hand too! .

Day 16 of #marchmeetthemaker: from the archive . My Beehive Needleroll was the very first pattern I drafted for sale - hand drawn chart and all! I sometimes feel rather nostalgic for those long evenings I spent hunched over a paper grid, with a black pen in one hand and a white-out corrector in the other... . You’ll be glad to know that I’ve since digitised this chart, and all my other older designs, so the new editions are much, much clearer and easier to read 🔎🔎🔎 .

Day 15 of #marchmeetthemaker: focus and priorities . This is very apt picture for today’s theme as my focus is on creating the booklets for my next little collection - which just so happens to include another scissor case and fob (which has a hidden surprise!).🪴🐝 . However my priority really should be my neglected garden...the bamboo canes on the Peas on Earth Scissor Case are taunting me because I need to carry out some repairs to my various supporting structures after the recent snow, hail, torrential rain and high winds...😳🌨⛈🌧🌬🌬🌬🌬🌬 .

Day 11 of #marchmeetthemaker: small details . You probably won’t be surprised to know that my work’s all about the tiny details! The Peas on Earth Pincushion is a prime example - the pea shoots matching up all the way round might not be very surprising, but did you spot anything else...? 🌱🌱🌱 .

Day 10 of #marchmeetthemaker: portrait . Like many of you, I’m not a fan of taking photos of myself so this is not my favourite challenge. I was trying to think of all sorts of alternative portraits, but it was due to cowardice rather than artistic inspiration...so here I am surrounded by part of what makes me, well, me! .
