Cycling Cindy her legs are strong and bruised. The biggest bruise appeared after Geo lifted the fully loaded bicycle over the guardrail dividing two lanes with fast driving traffic to and from Sarajevo. I would never do such a thing, and in all my tranquility I got really stressed out by standing on the wrong side of my bicycle and not knowing what to do: cycle to the other side, or running with the bicycle in my hand, but on the wrong side of my body, which makes it very awkward to maneuver. With fast approaching cars and trucks and Geo yelling in stressed out unbelieve, I chose to first get to the correct side of my bicycle and made a dash for the other side. It worked out, I am still alive. Only some more bruises. #cyclingstyle #bruised #embroiderydesign #bicycletouring #dinaricalps #viadinarica #fietsvakantie #fahrradfahrenmachtglücklich #adventurousgirl #getoutside #bicycleride Every single moment, every morning and every evening I embroidery. It seems the harder the journey, the more I feel for an opposite. The places I get to camp are often with splendid views. Even through the mesh of my tent views are pretty, some places even come with a little stream to wash the sweat of a day cycling (or pushing up a 1000 meter) away. What is better for the eyes to embroider at such spots? Cycling with all four panniers in the mountains of Bosnia is not an easy outing. But even would I have a bikepack set-up or walk, I still wouldn't be able to pull it off. A new design that is worked at with a lot of desire. I can't promise sooth nor sparks of fire that burns through the fabric but I do promise it'll become super pretty! Words like these makes me want to meet the person behind the purchase of my pouches. A new start. Hemp cotton dyed with dandelion flowers. A drawing in the style of North indian style. It will feature mirrors from India that will be attached using my mom's, almost antique by now, wooden embroidery hoop.

CINDY NEEDLEART in a nutshell

Beautifying fabrics born of a desire to be creative while traveling.

The beautified fabric becoming a pouch.

A pouch can be as well an artful creation and yet keeping its practicality.
