it feels like a very good time to send love to the people we cherish.
stitching lightens my heart and shifts my mood. i made these little beaded hearts for my dearest friends and family (inspired by my new DIY hearts kit) and they brought me so much joy that i made a little collection for my shop.  



the beaded hearts are made from wool felt dyed in my home dye studio with plants and flowers from my garden. the hearts are embellished with vintage beads and antique sequins and hang from a 37” strand of plant-dyed silk cordage. each heart is a tiny treasure. i LOVE making cordage. i used a single paddle of plant-dyed silk ribbon for the hearts in this project. if you’d like to make your own cordage, you can request the complementary little instructional booklet when you order ribbon.

the first batch of cat & dog hearts for pasadena humane sold out...
so i made more! do you spot your furry friend in the collection? these are some of my absolute favorite things to make, and it feels good to be helping animals in need.

50% from the sale of each dog & cat heart will be donated to pasadena humane.
they are working tirelessly to provide shelter and vet care to displaced and lost animals as a result of the devastating LA fires.
