Just restocked these stickers!

Important reminder today (and always)

A little Vonnegut appreciation. And only a little, a teeny tiny 2 inch hoop in fact.

My view for most of today

New (old) supplies to add to my mini collage kits. I’m constantly searching for things to include and it feels like a win every time I find something. Haven’t figured out if links are allowed on here but collage kits are available in my Etsy shop.

Stitched so many of these teeny tiny dots that my ‘needle pushing’ finger is wrecked. Thimbles are too bulky, even the rubber ones, so plasters it is. I mean some people put their lives on the line for work, but we embroidery artists have our own struggles yeah?

I currently have a half price sale on many hoops in my shop. It’s on until the end of the month. And I only just found out that it’s National Embroidery Month! So what better time than now to buy some embroidery art?

It takes me so long to put together these little collage kits. I use tweezers to get the small items neatly in the bag. But it’s so satisfying to do. I just wish I was a bit quicker!

Haven’t stitched a stitch since loooong before Christmas and itching to get back to it. But business admin and life admin have been getting in the way. Longing to stitch along to an audiobook but who has the time?!

Celebrating the fact that I finished my tax return already and didn’t leave it until the day before it was due, like most previous years. Gonna ‘slow down’ this weekend, maybe watch a movie, maybe take a nap or two. There are perks to being organised. Who knew?!

Must make an effort to post here more now the meta ship is sinking because zuck is an iceberg or some other analogy that makes sense. Here’s an embroidery. I have more. I’ll post more if I remember.

Sharing this from IG here because I guess I need to spread the word. This GPSR stuff is a headache, right?

Someone with over 300k followers shared my collage kits on a Christmas gift guide yesterday but didn’t tag/link me which in previous years would have bothered me immensely but now I’m in the ‘who cares’ era of small business. I still got a few extra sales out of it so I’m calling it a small win.

In an effort not to do my usual ‘post once then never again’ that happens with every other new social media platform I join, here I am posting for the second time. And here is another embroidery of mine.

I guess I should post something here to introduce myself. I’m an embroidery artist in the UK selling hoops like this and some other bits and bobs in my etsy shop. Is it nice here?
