The same holds true for Laura Mason, who’s daintily embroidered designs usually adorn tissue holders, purses, and other useful things she sells in her etsy shop. Her latest project, however, she’s been sharing with us step-by-step on her blog: a hand embroidered clock with a unique image for different hours. Beyond just stitching the times, this graduate of the Royal School of Needlework in the UK is venturing on to put together the clockwork and set it to ticking.

She’s finished the center circle and two of the hourly markings now and is moving on to the rest. If you’re interested in keeping up with this project, be sure to check out Laura’s Blog at LAMdesigns. We’ll be keeping up with her as well, and can’t wait to show off the finished product.
