After eight months of being in this apartment, I’m actually starting to feel settled and comfortable. Along with that feeling, I’ve been feeling good about the projects I’ve been getting done lately. Especially the ones that have been lingering for a while. Being halfway done with the first month of the new year, I’ve been feeling pretty accomplished so far which really gives my self esteem quite the boost.
Anywho, at some point past year I started collecting embroidery hoops without having any idea of what exactly I wanted to do with them. (I kinda feel like all my posts start this way. I just got hit with that groundhog’s day feeling) So, being settled into the apartment finally, I’ve been all about decorating the walls, but more like themed decorating. More so each wall has its own theme. I’ve been trying to keep the kitchen walls covered with food and kitchen related art. I recently was encouraged to make some of my own art, being that I’ve got all the supplies to do so. I guess you can say my excess embroidery hoops and the recent hoop stuff I made encouraged me to do so. In this case, instead of using beads, I wanted to actually do some fun embroidery art. I had a few ideas but settled on making some taco art because I love tacos.
I pulled out relevant colorful thread, did a light sketch and just went for it. Not much planning was involved. As usual I kinda winged it.
I have so much different kind of trimmings and I thought pom pom trimming would really make this fun. I think it worked because it looks pretty darn colorful and fun.
I would say total this took me three consecutive days which does include all the breaks I took in between. I took my time, especially since I just wasn’t in much of a rush. I wanted it to be as perfect as I could make it.
It’s hanging in the kitchen now, which helps make the kitchen look super presh. My roommate gave me the idea to do the other six days of the week featuring other foods, preferably Spanish-styled. Gotta go on a hunt for more embroidery hoops if that’s the case.
Welp, Happy Taco Tuesday!
