Mittens


I hope you all had a lovely Christmas!

Here is my Colour Collective illustration from last week. It is inspired by the colour 'Shaded Spruce'.

Dala Horse for Cross Stitch Crazy


Firstly, Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are all wrapped up warm!

Secondly, I am very happy to say that my little Dala horse illustration has been transformed into a cross stitch pattern! The lovely folks at Cross Stitch Crazy magazine reached out to me a little while ago to see if we could work together and I couldn't be happier with the result. I think this makes a lovely festive design!
