    Woohoo! I am working on a super secret project at the moment! 😀 …and though I can’t really share any information or progress pictures concerning the new project until it’s finished and the recipient got it, you really don’t need to worry that I might take a break from posting until the project is finished. On the contrary! I took so many pictures of my recent embroidery and sewing projects that I can keep you quite busy until I can finally reveal my new, super secret project. 🙂 Which brings me right to the topic of todays posting. In my last two postings I showed you my two work steps concerning the silk shading embroidery for the rose…

    It took some time but today I finally have my third part of my rose embroidery tutorial ready for you. Todays posting will show you how I used Surface Couching to embroider the central section of the roses for my friends 14th century hood. 😀 But before we get to the embroidery tutorial, I would like to write a little about the last days and weeks as they were quite a journey for me. As some of you might recall from my recent postings, I was taking one test after another to qualify for my GED diploma. And though all these tests drained me mentally, I am excited to tell that all the hard work and concentration finally…

    2016/10/03

    Wow! What a week! During the last days I was struggling with fighting off a head cold as well as finally facing my driving test. As easy as embroidery and some other things might come to me, I really struggle a lot when it comes to taking any kind of tests. And the driving test, which took place yesterday, was definitely no difference. I was a complete wreck before, during and after the test and not even my dear husband was able to calm me down…

    And finally a posting about what might interest you the most: A step-by-step tutorial of how I created the rose embroidery for my friends 14th century hood. Though the rose embroidery for my friends 14th century hood might appear quite simple at first sight, it is definitely much more complex than it looks like. Well, there is quite some work involved to make it appear so simple, proper and effortless.

  • positive review  I have followed Racaire's work for a decade. She is a true artist, and absolute magic with a needle! Her block printed fabrics are gobsmackingly gorgeous, with historically appropriate designs, and her embroidery and textile arts are without peer. Her historical research is spot on which is something this history geek truly appreciates. I recommend her work heartily! (and she's an awfully nice person to boot!)

    positive review  Working with Racaire's Workshop has been wonderful. I special ordered an octopus bag and it is beautiful. She created it to my requested specifications.There was a ton of communication throughout the entire process. It was efficient, and easy.

    positive review  I commissioned a hand carved stamp for my husband's knighting ceremony clothes. Not only is it gorgeous, but I was given SO MUCH information on sources and instructional information on block printing. I now feel relatively confident I can do this. Perfection.

    Ordered one item and had questions about a second item. Racaire was quick to contact me and and send pics with measurements. I ended up getting both items. They were shipped that day and arrived insanely fast for being across the country. Note: Items I selected were in stock. Racaire is very friendly and strives to know a little about each client/customer it seems. TLDR: Item quality/description: 10/10 Shipping speed/costs: 10/10 Customer service/satisfaction: 10/10

    positive review  Racaire's work is thoughtful, beautiful, historic and absolutely well made! There is care and pride in everything that comes out of her workshop, a craftmanship that you just don't get from mainstream markets! I have several items done by her hand and I am continually asked about them and who made them. Racaire's quality and artistic beauty shines through everytime.

Yes, it's food again but a creative mind also wants to eat well and healthy... ❤️🤗❤️I've seen several of my friends posting their baked goods recently. Therefore I happily add my baked goods to the mix today - pita! I simply love it!My last batch made on Monday just lasted till Wednesday so I had to add a second bake day this week as it will go amazing with my meatballs for dinner.This time I even added a twist to my normal recipe! One cup of bread flour was replaced with whole wheat flour, whey instead of water and brown sugar instead of white sugar with a good dash of ground cardamom... Can't wait to try the first one when it comes out of the oven... ...and yes, it's perfect! Slight taste of the whole wheat but not overpowering... Will be perfect with my meatballs and everything else we put on it, dip it in or put into it's pocket... And best of all, it keeps well in the fridge and is easy to heat up when you need it! ❤️What is your favorite bake at home?...and let me know if you'd like me to post the process and recipe next time...❤️🤗❤️#racaire #bakingfromscratch #bakingwithlove #bakingfun #baking #pita #pitabread #pitalovers #homebaker #homemadefood #homemade #healtyfood #healty #yummy #homecooking #homebake ...
