Hey Camp Carter staff! Can you believe it? This photo came out great! I've ordered some prints to see what it looks like on paper and canvas and I'll let you know how it looks!

I had a great time (as usual) and it kicked my butt in to shape - I've been applying to jobs like crazy and will hopefully get a few interviews lined-up in the next week or so. We'll see!

Love you, MWAH,
Alex

What can you do with embroidery hoops and stiches?

I'm currently working online while keeping HGTV on (to keep the creative juices flowing) and I just got a great idea! A man just showed the entire world how to paint wooden embroidery hoops and using good tape (or glue) stick them to the walls. Very simple. Very modern - looks great. My idea? Why not stick photos in to some of the circles?! You could create an entire wedding themed wall with white, black, silver, gold, and red hoops and just stick three to five photos throughout to have your own custom wall piece for under twenty dollars!

If you have any questions (since I don't have photos to show a "how-to" yet), please email me (Alex) at MarthaHaskins@gmail.com!

Artist T-Shirts!

Look what I just found!  So excited!

Free Shipping!

Okay, I have been CRAZY BUSY with our move and vacation coming-up...so I apologize for not writing (if anyone even reads this thing).

So I decided to make up for it by changing my shop to FREE SHIPPING to the US, Mexico, and Canada (and everywhere else with the purchase of two+ items). I cannot wait to add more things for people to chose from - just wait and see what happens when I have an actual studio to work in!

And Dana and Luke's wedding was FLAWLESS - wish you were there....it was just beautiful!

Happy blogging!
