Glad that’s over…

Here’s the link to the replay. I’m a couple of minutes in.

Woman's Hour - Candace Bushnell, No Queens in Europe, Early Years recruitment - BBC Sounds The original Carrie Bradshaw on the success of her creation: S*x and the City.

In case you didn’t know, I will be on The Chase on Wednesday 17th May at 5:00 on ITV.

It’s been a long process… I applied in February last year, went through the audition process and filmed it in October.

Then the loooong wait to find out when it will be aired and having to keep it quiet!!!

As you probably know, I’m quite arty and crafty, and as part of managing my nerves during this whole process, I created some art! I am finally releasing it as a limited edition print drop to celebrate the screening.

I would love it if you would like to own some of my art, or if you could like and share.

It’s available in my Etsy shop:

New term, and back to learning! Online course: Free Machine Embroidery. It was lovely to use my machine after a long summer break, and my doodling with thread turned into this.

What do you think?

It’s free machine embroidery and Derwent Inktense on calico and wadding to give a quilted texture.

Bags, bags, bags…. If you’re anything like me, you never have a bag handy when you’re shopping and end up buying yet another supermarket bag…

So I have started making a collection of one-off, unique canvas tote bags, to fold up small and keep with you.

I’ve painted them with Derwent Inktense, which gives beautiful, vibrant, permanent colours and then enhanced them with hand embroidery for a quirky result. These are shopping bags to be proud of while you help the planet!

I’ll add them to my Etsy shop as I finish each one, so keep your eyes peeled 👀 or favourite my shop to receive notifications when I add new stock 💖
