Plants really do make me happy. Along with Cups of tea Sunshine Creativity And peace and quiet ? Very happy to be surrounded by all of them this morning. ☀️ New free pattern is live on the blog

Ad-gifted I have a thing for art materials but I've never used @spectrumnoir before. It's a bit if a learning curve but I think I'll love them. Full review of the discovery kits from @crafterscompuk coming soon to the blog

AD Carving out some self care time this Sunday with @iamscentered signature ritual collection of wellbeing aromatherapy balms. Anyone else found themselves at the bottom of the to do list? Busy trying to sort everything and everyone elses needs before your own? I written a new post on 8 achievable self care tips. Including my review of the balms *spoiler* I love them. Link for the post is in the bio.

Did you know I offer 100s of free cross stitch charts on my blog? This gecko ? design is the latest to be added and you can download the pdf pattern completely free of charge via my website. Link in bio. I also now offer a exclusive weekly pattern for my newsletter subscribers. What would you like to see me design next?

Did you know I also design fabric? These are a few of my sample prints from @spoonflower I could do with some suggestions of things to make with these 8 x 8 inch squares. Aside from face masks as I have plenty!

My latest addiction is making plant hangers. Macrame beauty takes two pots! So naturally I now need more plants. Love a bit of retro crafts. What can I macrame next?

Am I too old for cute covered buttons? Destashing scraps of fabric and floss. Stitched this last night. So it's not great as I'm still not budging on reading glasses. I've got enough to make a set of buttons for my cardi. What do you think?

How was your Easter weekend? Ours was a bit like my spring chicken pattern. Half done, as the eldest was ill. So egg hunts have been delayed. Pattern is free on the blog.

Happy Easter. Thankful for the sunshine the last couple of days. Since the eldest has gone down with a sickness bug. #easter #happyeaster #sunshine #spring #springtime #walks #herefordshire #outdoors #berringtonhall #nationaltrust
