Embroidery rooted in wild places and everyday moments.

So many animals and plants this August!

Would I recommend hand-making this many things for your own wedding? Debatable. Would I do it all again? Yeah, prob.

Over our 5-day wedding week in Mexico, we had themed days, 50-something people staying together, lots of time by the pool, and plenty of opportunities to make the details feel special. Here’s some of what I made:

Slides 1–2: Friendship bracelets for our Love Island-themed scavenger hunt — tossed into the pools for everyone to dive in and find their names.
Slide 3: Shell place cards, lettered by my husband because I’m big enough to admit he has the better handwriting.
Slides 4–5: Hand-embroidered welcome bags that doubled as beach bags, using five different motifs + color combinations so each was a little different.
Slide 6: Room assignment door tags, printed at home and finished with pom-poms we picked up once we got to Puerto Vallarta.
Slide 7: “Just Married” chair signs that arrived with peeling vinyl lettering — so I embroidered the letters instead.
Slide 8: Personalized water bottles for me and the groom, combining my greatest passions: Love Island and free access to the Denver Public Library Cricut.
Slide 9: Water colored shell cards with notes for our wedding party, several of which the postal service promptly lost. 🫠

And this still isn’t everything. I’m sharing a deeper dive into these + a few more wedding DIYs in a Needle & Spruce email going out this week! If you want all the details, make sure you’re on the list 💌

Today’s agenda involves literally taking stock: figuring out what’s still here, what needs restocking, and what I want to bring back for fall and the holidays.

There are a few familiar favorites in these piles, plus some new ideas currently living in my iPad. More soon 💚

Hi again 👋

After a summer full of wedding plans, travel, and celebrations, I’ve finally returned to my embroidery desk and am very happy to be here.

Needle & Spruce is a one-woman show, and that woman had a wedding week to plan! Things were a little quieter around here for a few months, but now I’m back — and married! — and excited to get creative again.

Thinking about colors 💭

…and whether this lady will turn into a kit or a downloadable pattern! Downloadables would be new for me, but I am entertaining the idea as another entry point into embroidery (beyond kits and dissolvable stickers).
