Gorgeous Easter colours for the latest membership packs! The latest two patterns for March are so cute!

Exciting new start hopefully test stitched ready for a feb launch. What do you think it might be?

In November we were asked to design a very exciting Counted Cross Stitch kit for Sandbag Ltd on behalf of the one and only Sirtomjones .

We are so pleased to say we were able to do this and can now share with you the design and kit which is available to buy on store.tomjones.com

What do you think? We love how stunning the black thread looks on the crisp white 14ct Aida.

For three christmases I’ve been trying to finish the Christmas village - one year I will but not this year. I’m putting down my needle now to spend Christmas with my family. Have a wonderful Christmas however you’re spending it. Thank you so much for all your support this last year. It really does mean more than you know. 💕🎄💕

Gorgeous winter colour for the latest project packs - are you part of their membership? It’s fab and a great gift idea for cross stitchers.

The latest Cotton Club Crafts membership kits are on their way to Sues. I absolutely loves these colours and these Christmas patterns.

How can you tell it’s autumn…, When the kids are ill, yet again, and the workshop has to relocate to the living room - running a small business while parenting often means adapting ☺️

Holiday stitch completed! So pleased with how this one turned out - only 1 Araminta with flowers kit left too so be quick if you’d like to stitch this too. Available via our website or Etsy store.

Happy Mug Monday - we’ve all been poorly this weekend but it’s the school holidays so we’ve spent our Monday cuddled on the sofa watching - introducing the little ones to a classic from my childhood Basil the Great mouse detective.

125 YEARS OF MOULINE SPECIAL - congratulations

Happy (Mug) Monday… what are your plans this week? I’m on paper work and test stitching this week. I’ve got big plans for 2024 I just need to get organised!

Handmade High Street - Parts 3 and 4 (and I’m not sure my scheduled post for part 3 ever actually posted 🤦🏼‍♀️. Part 4 is one of my absolute favourites and inspired by our good friend and super talented musician and teacher .musiced

Full Disclosure (we saw Addams family last and this song is stuck in my head) - I’ve been completely rubbish on social media and keeping up with things in general for pretty much the whole of September. Due to school schedules, poorly kids, broken cars, etc, etc. I’m spending today planning and will get the 4th part of Handmade High Street out later today / tomorrow morning and then plan to be a lot more active!!

Happy Tuesday folks. Both kids are at school and doing some stitching while getting my hair done with the super talented Gill at ☕️

What beautiful colours we’ve been preparing for the Cotton Club Crafts membership optional supply packs… have you seen the SALs included in the membership? They’re definitely must haves for any cross stitchers collection!

Over 6,300 threads cut and sorted this last week - I love seeing the colours coming together. It does mean I’m having today as my day off and heading to our local wildlife oasis with the family and then off for a swim.

Happy world cross stitch day (and thank you to for reminding us) and as a special treat here’s the first look at our brand new design, which will be available as a pdf download or kit next week.

Top tip - if you’re stitching on black Aida place something light behind it (a piece of paper or a cream blanket work brilliantly). This will making finding the holes much easier.

A cheeky tip that will help stitching our new Abba inspired festive season design too - I’m test stitching at the moment and the design should be available in our shop very soon.

Handmade High Street part 2 - Sarah’s Cakes and Bakes. This was just a fun shop to stitch, we’re very proud of this series and hope you’re loving stitching our high street as much as we did.

Needle minders…. I have to admit I’m terrible at losing needles, in the sofa, on the floor, down the black hole of cross stitch needles and threads that are never seen again. That is until I came across Needle minders, and now these are a cross stitch must have! We include one in our limited edition version of our stitch along, and although I do still lose the odd needle - it’s a lot less than before and much easier to find using the needle minder when hunting. So many companies do beautiful needle minders too - - do you use a needle minder? Please feel free to share below where you got yours from or your cross stitch game changer.

🌼 Handmade High Street Part 1 🌼

Fab Floral is here - this is part 1 of our 5 part stitch-a-long. Inspired by Fab Floral, who creates the most beautiful arrangements. Don’t forget to share your progress with us on our Facebook group.

If you’ve signup but haven’t received part 1 please email us and we’ll send it over to you.

5 days until handmade high street part 1 is released. The kits for all pre sales have been posted and we hope to start seeing them arriving soon. There are a few of our limited edition kits left containing lots of small business goodies.

🐝 National Bee Day 🐝

Biggest stitcher is helping prep the limited edition SAL full kit with small business goodies. We’re very excited to be getting these ready this afternoon. It’s not too late to order one of these (there are a few left) - we have a few more bits to add and then kits will start being posted out early next week ready to begin stitching on the 28th!
