Nectar Handmade

I added a new sleeve print to the shop this week and I've been brainstorming on things I could make for myself with it! I'm so in love! It gives me some serious Rugrats and Wild Thornberrys vibes.

It's been so cool to hear stories about how a simple VW bus can hold so much value and so many memories for a family. I remember my grandparents driving us on road trips in a big van with a bag phone! I can't believe how vivid some of my childhood memories are related to certain vehicles. I guess it's not a surprise considering my dad and grandpa are car professionals.

Mother's day is 12 days away! I've got some spare time this week so if you need a gift for your mama, there's still hope for a cross stitch portrait arriving in time! I'm doing this one in my q-snap frame. I use this when the final product is going to be put in a frame rather than a hoop. It prevents creasing so I don't have to spend lots of time after it's finished trying to flatten it out. Check out my shop if you're ready to order a portrait and feel free to shoot me a m...essage if you have questions! NectarHandmadeShop.etsy.com

I LOVE doing custom orders! Bringing someone's idea to life is so much fun. And this sort of plant collection I need in my life - doesn't require any upkeep

Happy birthday to this fun little dude! He's not a baby anymore and is the sweetest big brother!
