Embroidery hoop fun

As much as I like mixed media, I also enjoy making quite simple but equally beautiful projects without the mixed media messiness. Embroidery hoops are perfect for both; you choose your fabric to give you the perfect base/background for the project and the rest is dependent on your creativity. Let me show you some of…

Back to the land of crafting

I was just looking through my blog and realised that I haven’t published anything in here for over 8months… It doesn’t mean that I wasn’t doing any arty stuff – I definitely was, believe me! – but running a blog and other social media for a craft company completely took all the fun out of…
