Trying to catch up with #marchmeetthemaker as I missed all the second half..🙈 So this goes for Days 20, 22 and 26 : Tools & materials, Sketchbook & Books, podcasts and blogs! 🌸For my embroidery portraits I use DMC embroidery threads organized onto little clothespin bobbins ♡ there's a tiny haberdashery just below our house and mostly I go there for all my embroidery supplies, ribbons and laces and sometimes also for advice, as they know me so well by now!:) 🌸Sketchbook: I don't have any! I never make sketches of my teddies and dolls before the sewing process (I just imagine them and can see all the details clearly in my head) but I do make little drawings of the finished animals sometimes and also of random things that inspire me, always on tiny scraps of paper; the leftovers from what I use for wrapping or cutting out patterns. 🌸Books: I'm an old soul and since I can remember I have always been in love with books. This 1988 edition of Winnie the Pooh is from a tiny local bookstore selling foreign language books, which I visit every now and then, mostly just to walk around & admire:) Some of my favourite books are Jane Eyre, all the novels about animals written by a great hungarian nature writer, István Fekete, My family and other animals by Gerard Durrell, the works of Jane Goodall (they are all so inspiring♡) and I love reading old children's tales and legends too! 🌸Blogs: I started a blog in October last year - www.brotherwolfhandmade.wordpress.com where I've been sharing my favourite cake recipes & short (and not so short) writings about topics I love, care about a lot or have a deep interest in ♡ 🌸Podcasts: If I listen to something while sewing, it is probably the @goaldiggerpodcast by @jennakutcher or the merripodcast by Danielle @merriweatherc (and I also love @marieforleo 's #marietv !:)) 🌸 If you know any lovely blogs to read (including yours, if you have!), or podcasts to listen, please share them with me below (&of course all the books you think I should read!😍:) 🤗 X #brotherwolfhandmade #booksandtea #stillswithstories #underthefloralspell #seekthesimplicity #ofquietmoments #stylingtheseasons #mybeigelife #booksandbotanicals #createinspring
