    Update – 9th blog birthday gift – embroidered 14th century pouch…

    2014/04/23

    Btw. do you remember the postings about the small embroidered 14th century pouch? …the small pouch I made for my 9th blog-birthday raffle which was inspired by an extant 14th century French pouch… Well, I am very glad to say that the pouch arrived save in the hands of its new owner – Jennifer in Dallas, Texas. …and she likes it! *happydance* I was so excited that I nearly forgot to tell you. 😀 All my projects are more then just projects therefore I tend to call them my “babies”. Every time I send one of my “babies” per mail on its way, the uncertainty if the package arrives or not is the most painful…

    Posting about medieval embroidery for already 9 years ! Happy 9th birthday to me! :D

    2014/04/05

    Happy birthday to me & my blog “Racaire’s Embroidery & Needlework”! 9 years filled with medieval embroidery! 😀 *gosch* …can you imagine it? I am already posting for 9 years about my embroidery and sewing projects. I think it is amazing – 9 long years filled with many medieval embroidery projects and medieval embroidery techniques like Klosterstich (cloister stitch), Refilsaum (Bayeux Stitch), German Brick Stitch, Surface Couching, Russian Pearl embroidery,… just to name a few. Btw. you can see a small part of my surface couching embroidery for my 12th century bliaut slit neckline on the right side. On the picture underneath you can see the final result of the first “Craft with…

  • positive review  Racaire's Workshop made me this custom X-Large Coif as seen at https://www.facebook.com/Racaires.Workshop/photos/a.148957655152826/2884613781587186/?type=3&theater The customer service including answering a ton of questions related to my'big head' and other unusual/unique requests that I made were absolutely SUPERB!!!! The only thing that surpassed my experience in ordering this coif was the pleasure I have received from wrapping it around my rather 'big head'....:) Looking forward to having the rest of my WARdrobe completed by Racaire's Worlshop!!! with Anna E. Dockery Experience was a 12 out of possible 10....... Boo McAfee

    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 ordered an octopus printed bag on October 27th. By the next day, the bag was finished, packaged up, and shipped to me. It arrived today, October 31st. Included in the package was a hand-written note detailing how to clean the bag as-needed, and a few extra small pieces of stamped fabric. The seller was very responsive to questions, and gave me some great tips as I'm going to start getting into doing fabric painting myself. I would definitely recommend purchasing from Racaire's Workshop.

    I've been following the shop for a while, trying to decide what I would have commissioned. Instead I fell in love with and impulse-bought a gorgeous dragonfly scarf that will be perfect for one of my Ren Faire costumes. It arrived quickly and lovingly packaged, and it's even better than I could imagine! You can tell it was made with love and with soul. I'm already excited about my next purchase and I don't even know what it is yet!

As some of you know I love re- & upcycling. Today I decided to give some of my propagated pothos plants a new home in hanging pots made from coffee creamer bottles. They are relatively easy to cut and, as you can see in the pictures, the outside shows their watering status very well which makes it easy to care for the plants.I love the little plant wall I started in the sleeping room, it has quite a calming vibe. Furthermore pothos is known to help with air quality, easy to keep alive and is a great plant for a sleeping room.I hope I could inspire some of you to recycle your common plastic containers and maybe add some more green to your home....and now back to working on my seahorse sketch...Love,Racaire💚💚💚🌹💚💚💚#racaire #recycle #upcyled #upcycled #upcycle #pothos #plants #plantsmakepeoplehappy® #plantsmakemehappy #plantsforthebedroom #bedroom #indoorplant #wallplants ...
