Hello Hydrangea

Hi! I'm Lindsey, the artist and weaver behind Hello Hydrangea. I live in the beautiful Arizona, USA desert with my husband, toddler son, and our two schnauzers.

This piece stretched my technical detail skills. Abstract techniques are challenging in their own way, but I have been craving a pattern that forces me to count and double check before each row. It paid off!⠀

We spent the weekend in LA on a whim, and it was wonderful. Beach days, great food and family time: exactly what we needed! Now that we’re back home, things are getting serious. Within the next few months my family is coming to visit, I’m launching the first set of kits, ✨ Spencer is finishing and graduating from his MBA, we’re heading to Yosemite National Park, and hope to plan another trip to see my family in WA, plus a trip to San Jose to find a place to live, pack our belongings and move 12 hours to CA 😴😅. It’s a good kind of busy, but I’m feeling the pressure of it all happening at once right now!

What colors do you fill your home with? If you're in your home right now, quickly glance around and name the four main colors you see around you! It could be a subconscious decision and you might be surprised.
These colors are screaming summer to me, but I am itching to throw in some type of blue. It's the color I'm most comfortable weaving with. Want to hear something interesting? When I look around my home its mostly filled with warm reddish tones. I didn't even realize! Mind. Blown!

What are you up to this weekend? Share below! We’re spending the weekend in LA, but I’m missing my studio and the exciting projects I’ll be finishing up this week. I have a few looms left - visit the link in my bio to order and they will ship early next week! .

Surprise! Extra large adjustable looms are back! Link in bio. I offer these a few times a year and they usually go within a day or so, so grab one quick! They are adjustable WHILE you are weaving, so you can adjust your warp tension as you weave - this is super helpful with texture! 🙌🏼✨ Now offering international shipping. 🌎🌍🌏

I love when my pile of ideas and half-finished projects stacks up. Each one is just a breath away from being completed, but still has so much potential to change until I’m ready to call it ‘done’! ⠀

Remember the ombré unicorn yarn I was weaving with a few days ago? You guys shared SO MANY amazing ideas on how to finish it up. Thank you! I considered all of the possibilities and played around with my top favorites. In the end I agreed that it needed some long thin fringe within the shapes. This pretty thing is now in my shop. 12”x22” $125 Visit the link in my bio to call it yours!⠀

I have tried 4 techniques to warp a triangle. FOUR! They seem to be trickier than circles because of the constant, steep angle. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I found the best way to do it. I filmed it and hope to turn it into a class/kit sometime soon 🙌🏼

This idea is the perfect example of my creative process. I’ve set these beads up on a flat surface 10 times now, moving them around, deciding if I’m ready to commit and finally knot them together. Taking my time until it FEELS right. Do you do that too? Do you listen to your gut?

Did you know I sell the exact plans to make your own Hello Hydrangea Adjustable Loom? I work with a craftsman to offer my best-selling ready-made looms, but for those that aren’t afraid to put in a little elbow grease, you can purchase my plans and make one yourself! This loom was created for @thedaintyartisan by her husband as a Christmas gift! She even added extra long bolts so her loom is adjustable by a few feet 😍🙌🏼

What do you do with scraps? I can’t bring myself to throw them away. I saved my scraps from my first year of weaving and made a shaggy tapestry to commemorate the date. I meant to do it every year, but it never happened again!

I need your help! Comment below with whether I should add chunky fringe, thin fringe, no fringe, or something completely different! ✨
I’m using this unicorn yarn - it’s ombré dyed from a sweet lady who spins it from her own sheep’s wool and I’m obsessed with the way it’s turning out. 😍🙌🏼 Just not sure how to finish the bottom 🤔

Have you started my macrame class yet? It's one of my favorites because it covers much more than just macrame. It also includes a completely new way to combine weaving and macrame (you know I had to!) so that you can add all of the little woven details that you usually can't get by using rope as warp strings. I'm just going to say... diamond twill + macrame = magic!⠀✨✨
Find the class in the link in my bio!⠀

No matter what you do, no matter how long you've done it, I challenge you to try a new aspect of it this week. Share who you are, what you do, and how you plan to experiment below. Then check out three other artists and give them some encouragement! ⠀
It could be colors or materials that you aren't comfortable with, making something tiny or extra large, or trying a completely new technique that you haven't attempted before. There's always some way to experiment!⠀

I often get asked to show the backside of my work. This macrame Diamond was snatched up minutes after I listed it, but if you pinch and zoom, you can see how the back and front are related in different ways, depending what type of knot was used!

Don't you love this piece? My student @foreverfernweaving created this after she took my online macrame class... and magically became a macrame wizard. Yes, people, macrame is magic! You can find my macrame class in the link in my bio. Check out her feed for more circular macrame goodies. I'm obsessed!
