finding my way back to making
I’ve been pretty absent since christmas. every few weeks I’d think about getting back into embroidery, buy a new supply I definitely didn’t need, sketch out an idea or two, and then somehow never actually make anything. I think I put too much pressure on it. I felt like if I was going to come…

a pint for your wall
I stitched a guinness hoop. I don’t even like guinness. but I do like birds. especially ones that balance pints on their beaks like it’s the most normal thing in the world. this one was fun – bold colours, crisp outlines, a bit of vintage nonsense. stitched on natural calico using a mix of dmc…

powerpuff hotline
I was so tempted to quote drake, but I hate that guy, so I won’t. today, I’ve spent the day messing with some watercolour paints, posca pens, and thread. let me tell you: I’ve had the best time. I made a powerpuff hotline phone! I had a vision, a posca pen, and an unnecessary amount…

welcome to krusty burger
I bet you can’t believe it. I’m writing a blog. and you’ll never guess what… I also finished an embroidery hoop too! I’ve been keeping pretty quiet on socials recently as I’ve not been sewing a whole lot. I haven’t been doing a whole lot of anything actually. I’ve just been reading, napping, working, or…

in a bit, etsy
it pains me to say this but I’ve just deactivated all of my listings on etsy. why? well, you see, the law has changed and now it’s impossible for me to sell my hoops to people in the EU and NI without paying a whacking great fee. I don’t have a) the time, b) the…

I told you I’d be back again, didn’t I? I’ve just finished another simpsons hoop, and this time it’s everyone’s favourite alcoholic, mr barney gumble. here’s my hoop… as a gif, of course: if you’d like to buy this hoop for your favourite boozer, head to my etsy shop. love you, bye. x

patty & selma
long time, no see! I’m very sorry for my radio silence… turns out it’s really hard to be consistent with… well, everything. but I’m back (for now anyway!) and I wanted to show you the last couple of hoops I did before my early on-set retirement. of course I had to stitch springfield’s hottest babes:…

flesh eating bacteria
okay, first things first, let’s address the elephant in the room. where have I been? well, you see, I have this problem where I get hyperfixated on hobbies and activities, and the embroidery hyperfixation went on a small… hiatus, while I got hyperfixated on running and the sims 4 instead. but enough of that –…

nothin’ at all
I did it! I dragged myself, kicking and screaming, out of my creative slump, and I finally finished my stupid sexy flanders embroidery hoop. in case you have no idea what I’m talking about (if you don’t, you need to start watching the simpsons immediately), here’s some context: and here’s my embroidery hoop: if you’d…

creative slump
this is hard for me to admit but… I’m in a creative slump. my head is full of ideas – for embroidery hoops and designs, for social media posts, for blogs… but when it actually comes to doing them… no thanks. I can’t quite work out what it is. is it because I’m tired from…
