A few of my favourite things

As I've said before, a huge passion of mine is cross stitch.  I also love the woods.  I grew up in the South of England in a beautiful place called the New Forest - I will always consider it my home.

I have created some patterns for woodland themed buttons (I wanted to have a go making miniature cross stitch designs) and I love them!
They incorporate all of my favourite things.

The patterns are available to buy from my etsy shop.  I'm feeling super kind so here's a free pattern for one of the designs - a squirrel!

Happy stitching!

I love cross stitch!

It's time to get to know eachother better, I'll start.... I absolutely LOVE cross stitch. Sometimes it feels like I spend all my free time with a needle in my hand focussing intently on tiny crosses on fabric! I suppose it does keep me quiet though so it can't be all bad!

My current project is based on my favourite artist Roy Lichtenstein.  I have made my own version of his 1965 painting 'Girl With Hair Ribbon'.  It's not finished yet but but there's not much to go now...I'd better keep on stitching!

Welcome!

Right, I think it's time to start my blog! But what to say for my very first entry? Well I suppose I'd better start by saying 'thank you' to anyone who is reading this!

My aim for this blog is for it to be a place for me to share my crafting adventures - and the things I make - with an audience.  I love making things, and I get such a thrill from selling the things I make.

Everything I will post on here will be available on my etsy store, maybe this blog will help me give a few more of the things I make new homes!
