JULY
I am so happy to finally reveal I have been designing and stitching a bird brooch collection for the William Morris Society Museum shop in collaboration with @craftscouncil Probably one of the most exciting opportunities I have ever had! They are available exclusively in Museum shop in Hammersmith in London or online now. Shop HERE.
This month has come round so quickly! And it is a busy one. I'm booking all my Winter fairs in, which includes a wonderful three day Makers Fair At Standen, National Trust on 13th, 14th & 15th. Also I will be at Benenden Art Fair in October 5th & 6th.
JUNE
Summer is here!
Today it feels like Summer is finally here, the sun is out and the garden looks very inviting. This is the time of year I bring out new collections of work. I read the other day makers and small businesses cannot compete with the many sales going on in the larger shops this month so I tend to design and bring out new things in June instead of running a sale.
So on to new things, after months of planning and designing I have launched my very first limited edition print of one of my embroideries. This print depicts my brooch 'Heart Of Nature' I am so pleased with the amazing representation of my piece in this print and it is printed on beautiful museum heritage paper, signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.
It is currently available in two sizes, 36cm x 36cm and 46cm x 46cm.

I am busy stitching new work for a very exciting project for a shop in London, all to be revealed next time.
You can also find me at the Midsummer Jamboree on Sunday 30th June at Ooh How Lovely near Rye along with other wonderful makers. Info HERE.
MAY
It's Spring and May is a wonderful month of the year and we are getting closer to Summer. Perfect to go out more in the garden, woodland walks and to sit down and enjoy some stitching.
This month I found out the exciting news that I have been accepted into the brilliant Find A Maker, an online curated collection of talented makers and artists.
Their website is a great place to source a maker or gallery and is full of exciting texiles, jewellery, art, ceramics etc. and lots of inspiration.
