    Since 2012 I have been designing, sewing, producing  and selling my own Embroidery Kits on Etsy and Ebay and have grown a loyal following on Facebook where I love to chat and share what I’m up to! 2017 however marks a point where I stand on my own two feet and now have my own web site where I am at last able to also share my days with you all in the same place.
