Petals and Ink

Two more cuties

🤍

Sewing has been such a fun and rewarding journey! I absolutely love the feeling of completing a project I can be proud of—like these two cuties right here. But if you’ve been following my stories, you know it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Just the other day, I was trying to make coasters and couldn’t sew a straight line to save my life! And don’t get me started on the necktie I’ve been working on—it’s been a real challenge to get it just right.

Still, I’m determined to keep going, no matter how defeated I might feel at times. When the vision in my head doesn’t quite come together, it’s tempting to feel like I’ve failed. But instead of giving up, I’ve found a way to keep moving forward. Every time I hit a roadblock, I make another pouch, adding a new element or technique to it. This way, I’m still challenging myself and learning, but I’m also giving myself the grace to embrace the process and accept that mastery takes time.

She's a cutie 🥰

Sometimes, picking up a new skill is about so much more than the skill itself—it’s about discovering who you are in the process. When I started painting, I learned to embrace layers, knowing they could correct mistakes and create something even more beautiful. Now, as I’m learning to sew, I’m discovering the value of patience and the courage to go back and redo something when needed. I’m realizing it doesn’t have to be perfect the first time to still be meaningful, presentable, and worth celebrating.

And along the way, I’m gaining the actual skill of sewing—which, let’s be honest, is pretty amazing in itself!

I find so much joy in creating.

I find so much joy in painting.
When I launched Petals and Ink Design it was all about ink drawings, then clay earrings, then resin and now paintings.

Painting has stuck around the longest.

I love that P&I Design allows me to be creative, to test different methods of art and just have fun!

What type of art are you loving right now?

I'll be adding these cuties to my website soon. 🤍🌸😘🌼

I've been having fun trying my hand at drawing new (to me) plants and flowers. ☘️🌿🌸🌼🌷
