Glitter Stitch Studio {Shop Spotlight, Giveaway, & Discount Code}

Today’s shop spotlight is extra special because I actually know this beautiful lady in person. She used to serve in ministry with my mom awhile ago and she is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I know without a doubt you are going to love the creativity and love that goes into her products.

Michelle owns Glitter Stitch Studio and her shop is based in Hawaii (can you say lucky?!). Glitter Stitch Studio is in the beginning stages of life, but has been blossoming so much. Michelle specializes in embroidered hoop art and can put just about anything you think of onto a hoop and make it beautiful.

This particular piece is incredibly special. I believe that the words written on this hoop are words a little girl needs to be reminded of on a daily basis. I pray that Elyse will look at these words before her and that they will sink into her very being. I want her to know that she truly is fearfully and wonderfully made by an amazing God who created her just the way He did for a reason.

Take a moment to hear Michelle’s heart behind her shop, and then don’t forget to enter the giveaway at the end of this post! It’s a great one. She is also offering a discount code to all my readers! How awesome is that?

How did you get started with Glitter Stitch Studio?

For about two years now I have been a stay at home mom and for the longest time I have loved all things creative. I love to embroider, scrapbook, bake, cook, paint, take pictures and design in photoshop I just love it ALL! Especially if it is creating something new from nothing. Glitter Stitch Studio came to life about a year ago because I wanted more to my day than naps, Cheerios and diapers. I needed an outlet…my creative side was itching to come out.

This journey has been just that, a journey from fear of failure to stepping out in faith. Glitter Stitch Studio started as a way to encourage people to see God word transformed into a beautiful piece of art to hang in your home or nursery. I am so blessed to serve a creative God who inspires me to create for His glory.

What does your shop specialize in creating?

I create hand embroidered hoop art for your home or nursery.

What are some of your favorite things to create?

Can I say I love it all? I love all the hoops I create because I put my heart and prayers into each piece I stitch. My goal is to create something that will be loved and treasured and maybe become a future heirloom to be gifted to the next generation. I truly love to create beautiful things with an embroidery hoop and a little string. My inspirations are random and come to me all the time and I am always jotting down notes on my phone…my to do list is a mile long! I see each piece before in my head and draw up the design or create it in photoshop then trace it onto my blank fabric it really is an exciting process to see it come to life.

Where does the name behind your shop come from?

Funny story I kept trying to come up with a fun stitching name. I wanted to find something catchy so I came up with Sparkle Stitch Studio…I even signed up with that name on etsy (PS I can’t change it) but as I was designing all of my stuff for the blog and shop like the banner I hadn’t realized I had changed it to Glitter Stitch Studio. So instead of changing all the work I had just done I went with it. I still think it was Jesus doing. Now I Love it and couldn’t imagine changing it.

Anything else about the heart behind the shop?

I didn’t get into this to become a millionaire I just wanted to add a little ray of sunshine illuminating some of God’s love to your home and I hope my hoops do just that. Glitter Stitch Studio just celebrated its one year anniversary and every-time I walk into my little craft room to create something new I silently thank God for this gift He gave me. A gift I believe He knew all along was in me and is part of His plan for me. A gift of exercising His creativity He put in me and getting paid to do it!!
