Jasmine Tea for the 5th in our Time for Tea series 💕 We had already decided on Jasmine before my trip to Italy but when there, we came across so many HUGE hedges of jasmine - with their delicately intoxicating scent they will forever remind me of hot sunny days in Puglia with my American sisters 💕 (and of course my gorge British mates .perrington and )

And so June is upon us and my mind has turned to all things rosy - are you on my Patreon to make a rose themed sewing box and accessories? 💕💕

I often wonder (aloud) if Drew could actually make a split stitch or French knot given that he has been surrounded by Stitch Speak during most of our marriage. Today I handed over the Jasmine Tea embroidery that I am working on and asked him.

Reader, he did us proud! He made a couple of very neat, very small split stiches. Next I'll have him try a French knot 😍

Not sure he will be delighted with the photo of himself in my reading glasses but he is wearing a cool tee from a place I loved when I took me last year. So there's that.

Flying home from beautiful Puglia this afternoon and have already made plans to come back to Italy - next week to Florence with Drew for a mini break (our boy deserves a holiday!)

Hoping to be back to the region one day as I have loved the buildings, the people and the food. Will miss elderly Italian people blowing kisses to me 🥰💕

Lots to tell you all about from this week and there are some VERY exciting new things on the horizon but first I will get home and stitch our Jasmine Tea for month 5.

Thank you for another wonderful experience 💕

So my favourite quote of all time is Shakespeare's 'Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none" and this engraved lighter at the antique market made me laugh! Wish I'd bought it 🤣🤣 So cynical!

Antiques in Polignano a Mare today: the owner brought us over to see this place after we shopped in his main store. Then cheerfully told us 'not for sale' when we asked prices. Said it was his museum. And now I have a whole new life goal: personal museum.

Dreaming of a WHITE CHRISTMAS here at our white party at the weekend! 💕💕🩷

Making new friends and having a lush time in the Italian sunshine. HOWEVER I am also working very hard, too and will be launching our limited edition Christmas boxes via email newsletter TONIGHT so be sure to check in!

We are the OG stitching advent calendar in our field and this will be our 8th year of producing one. We use quality suppliers, package beautifully and I design exclusive kits which aren't available until the following summer (a business model which has also been adopted successfully by other small businesses now). I know there is more choice for you now but I'm pretty proud that ours is so good it's been copied by several other great stitchers 💕💕We cap the sales and when they are gone they are gone so don't miss out.

There will be three boxes from us, to cover all of your stitching needs during the festive period. Start with our Stitchery Advent Calendar and open a delightful gift each day, then settle back in the evening on Christmas Eve and open a special Christmas Eve Stitching Box with stitching pouch, brand new Christmas kit, all the stitching trimmings and a special edition drinking vessel!!

From Christmas Day onwards you'll have our 12 Days of Christmas Box with 12 beautiful Winter Woodland embroideries inspired by one of my favourite artists, Beatrix Potter.

I am excited for this year's offering and looking forward to sharing a special Stitchery Christmas with you 💕

Ciao from the Puglia Retreat! It was my class yesterday and everyone made a great start on their slow stitch projects - I love how the same brief turns out so differently around the room. Barbara's piece is already stunning but wait til you see the back! 💕
