This is about a month overdue, but this little project was “in the hoop” for the Creative Collective May project, it just never happened.
I had some leftover hoops from a little crafty project with the kids a while ago.
My idea ~ framed photos.
My tools ~ my photos, hubby’s work’s fabric printing machine
The result ~ voila, and me having to learn how to cut and back an embroidery hoop. Let’s just say it was a sticky situation. And I’m not showing you the back.
Think I’m going to try a few more though.
In other news, I got together my little snail mail packages for the creative collective snail mail swap. This is what is heading off to my receipients. Reminded me why I love snail mail.

Hello! I'm Kellie and here I collect inspiration ~ beautiful photos, words on creativity, lovely printables and handmade items. I love autumn, cameras, and of course, the colour lime.
Kel, they are gorgeous! You adding these to the shop! A little boy tells me that I like to buy your photos and I reckon I would like to buy these too!
It’s definitely an idea to ~ as I said to Cat, if I can ever get a neat back done.
What a gorgeous little framed photo! Great idea to use the embroidery hoop!

Thanks Jill ~ and welcome to Lime Lane
Oh those hoops are lovely – simple yet striking!
ps. after seeing your snail mail packages I am secretly hoping I’m one of the lucky ducks you are sending too!
thanks Emily ~ and I’m not saying, don’t want to ruin any surprises!
I love this Kellie, looks gorgeous.
It’s a great idea, have you thought about doing it with more of your gorgeous pics? xo
Thanks Jess, am hoping to do a few more, will have to pick some more out
love your hoop photos! great idea + now i’m wishing my hubby had a fabric printer at work
thanks Belinda ~ it is rather handy, now I just need him to put them together for me too!
Very effective, Kellie. I’ve got a link to a great backing tutorial if you’d like it!
That would be great Gretchen, could you send it to me?
That hoop looks AWESOME! Seriously, awesome! Nice work.
Thanks for the tip about Moo. Have checked it out and am now thinking of all the postcards I can make. Thanks
Kellie, it looks fantastic! Love the colours, the focus and even the origional picture as a whole (what I can see of it!).
Gorgeous photograph! having it printed on fabric gives it such a different texture from a photo. I like it very much
