These are lovely @Beesandblossoms. I love the embroidered details. They’re very tactile

This was a commission for a customer that saw my sheep tote bag at a Christmas fayre and asked for the same design on a cushion.

I had an illustration published in this month’s SCOOP magazine. It’s a magazine for children aged 8-12 and the article I illustrated was all about eating insects and the future of food production. It was fun to receive my copy through the post. Cricket sandwiches anyone? :stuck_out_tongue:

Most items I make end up in my shop, but I must admit I love making/ wearing handmade socks !!! so when I get a chance to make , these never end up for sale ! I like to make on two needles as DPN’s just make my hands ache ! Perfect for this weather !

This was a recent commission I was asked to do. I used cross-stitch for the lettering which I really enjoyed as I hadn’t done any for a few years.

I have just finished these. They have been made using stones from an old brooch that my customer has had in a draw for 30years. Hopefully they will get more wear now.

I’ve recently learned how to knot pearls (my business goal of the year) and have made these for myself as I actually had 2 matched strands. Black/peacock pearls knotted on amethyst silk. I wear them everyday and am looking forward to doing so at fairs when I’ll have knotted necklaces ready to sell.
