I have limited access to email and apps because my mobile packed in over the weekend, hope to get fixed soon.🤞

I've been quiet on social media because life is a bit of a whirlwind at present.

It’s a case of being like a swan on water—calm on top, legs flapping like mad underneath! 🦢💨

My hyper-focused brain decided the best coping mechanism was to run around like a lunatic and faceplant the front door. So I'm currently rocking a bruised chin, aching shoulder, and zero dignity.

But the hustle doesn't stop! Bruises, hot flushes, and leg-flapping aside, I’m still quoting new jobs and cracking on with a fresh slate house sign. 💪🏻🤣

I desperately need a laugh today. Please comfort me: what is the most ridiculously clumsy thing you’ve ever done? Sharing is caring...do tell.

Weekend mode: ON. 📴🎨

Swiping through some old memories and new creations. The highlight is definitely the photo with my wonderful Nan, Alice Robinson. A total lady.

The new job is going well, and I'm arting this weekend. Deeply content. Have a good one!

Remember my post from 15th April? I can finally share the news! I’ve officially joined the team at William Whiteley & Sons. I’ve always loved heritage crafts, and I couldn't be happier to land a role with such an iconic British manufacturer. ✂️🥰Check out their incredible work here:

Intricate & detailed work by using our 4” Stork Needlework Scissors ✨🪡

Sarah is a cross stitch enthusiast who has worked on a variety of different pieces, as showcased on her page!

This particular piece is titled “Bucklebury Sampler”, designed by Karen Kluba, who was inspired by the village of Bucklebury in West Berkshire and its ties to the Royal Family 🌳💐

Sarah originally started stitching this piece 5 years ago as a beginner-stitcher, but she never got round to completing it until earlier this year. With an extra 5 years of stitching experience and practice under her belt, she decided it was time to return to the Bucklebury Sampler and wow it looks excellent! 🤩

we are so happy that you returned to this one & you chose Whiteley to be part of that process!

Check out Sarah’s page for more cross stitch pieces and to view her amazing needlework! 😊
