Cross stitching diva !

Hello everyone,

hope you are well and thriving.
In the true spirit of a New Year ( as well as forced rest!) I am embracing some lovely new crafty ideas. Really tapping into that part of my personality that loves to make things and then look on with pride at my achievement (however small!). It gives you a great sense of satisfaction.

The first activity on my list to rediscover this year is my love of cross stitching!
It is sooo relaxing. Loving it!

I have started out small with a cute medieval flowers bookmark. I'm really enjoying it.
It has some lovely bright, cheery colours as you can see from the image below. If this turns out ok I'll progress onto a bigger project for my home! Lavender bags here I come!


Did you know that sewing is one of the latest trends to sweep the UK? Along with knitting, bread-making and allotment veg growing, and the W.I. . All things I'm looking forward to rediscovering this year.

Why not treat yourself to some 'me' time and learn a new skill at the same time? There are sewing groups all over the UK if you want to meet new people as well. Follow this link to find a group near to you http://www.bhkc.co.uk/data/groups_new.htm

Enjoy !

Karen
