    I have hand stitched these little pincushions. Each one is different.

    They are sturdily padded with wool and permanently fixed each in a vintage or rescued container.

    • The wooden egg cups, all in perfect condition, are hand turned and stand just over 6cm high. They have an assortment of Japanese cotton prints embellished with my stitches.
    • The willow pattern ceramic egg cups are just over 4cm high. They have small chips in them. They each have the same Japanese cotton print but are each embellished with different coloured stitching.
    • The mini white porcelain ramekin dish is approx 2.5cm high. The pincushion is my boro-style stitching in reds on assorted fabrics.

    I’m looking forward to welcoming participants arriving for our gentle stitching retreat in a spacious rural farmhouse. The shop is coming with me!

Today’s life lesson:
Stop rushing
Slow down, breathe deeply, use all your senses, seek out the small, the quiet, the overlooked, revel in the simple things, be grateful for small mercies.

Good plan, but I need to keep practising…

I’ve dyed these vintage wool blanket pieces and they await your tender ministrations in the form of hand stitching or felting.
It is the softest warmest fabric to stitch into and your needle will love it.🧵🪡

Found this wee gem in my photos, from an early Wednesday Windowsill.

The more I read the less I wanted to put it down. Loved the characters and all their quirks.

Turns out I had to make red ones too!
For boro-stitchers I have made packs of red or blue scraps, large and small, to feel your habit…
Thirty five pieces in a pack and UK post free…

    🤗Most things I’ve done this weekend have not gone as planned. But the veritable ocean of dal which has burbled away in the slow cooker this afternoon is a WIN!
