CROSS-STITCH: Super Mario Bros. Mushroom & Block




This Cross-stitch was also made for Kate and Terry's new baby Oliver as a matchig pair. The Nintendo and Sega game characters really lend themselves well to cross-stitch as they are made up of tiny coloured blocks. I'm sure I will make more of these individual designs in the future...TBC. A big Thank You to my good friend Heidi for giving me the inspiration to start this project and also helping me finish them.

CROSS-STITCH: Super Mario Bros. Cloud




This Cross-stitch was made for Kate and Terry's new baby Oliver. I hope he grows up to enjoy the 'Mario Bros' just as much as we all did in the 80's...even if he plays the game on an iNintendo! (Height - 12cm)

CROSS-STITCH: Lola





This Cross-stitch was made for my friend Kate's new baby Lola. I hope she grows up to love buttons just as much as her sister does. The lettering was sourced from a fantastic Leisure Arts book 'Alphabets Galore' which is great to refer to for any special occasion cross-stitch piece. I really like the bright happy colours and the pins! (Height - 12cm)

FELT: Christmas Trees - Green and Tan




These tiny Felt Christmas Tree decorations were made for 2 lovely ladies Florence and Katie. Florence kindly passed on a small bag of craft supplies to my work friend Katie to give me. I decided to make a few Christmas Tree decorations with the shiny bits and pieces. They are either 3 months late or 9 months early for the festive season! (Height - 12cm)

This medium sized Softie was made for Max for his 2nd birthday. He renamed him 'Biggles' the day after he received him. I hope he carries him around the house by his arms and legs! (Height - 40cm)

SOFTIES: Scattered Flowers Pincushion - Pink



This tiny Softie was made because I really needed a pincushion of my own. I was using a rejected snout from a Sock Monkey with a few old rusted pins in it and it just wasn't working for me. I can fit many more pins in this little gem! (Height - 8cm)

SOFTIES: Beets the Rabbit - Blue & Brown Corduroy




This medium sized soft toy was a fun collaborative effort. Meet Beets Elbert! We thought he would be a 'Jelly Bean' shape but he turned out an 'L' shape. We had to give him huge white teeth and really long ears. (Height - 36cm)

CROSS-STITCH: Home Sweet Home




This Cross-stitch was made for Jocelyn & Laurie as a Christmas and housewarming gift to celebrate moving in to their new home. The lettering was sourced from a fantastic Leisure Arts book 'Alphabets Galore' which is great to refer to for any special occasion cross-stitch piece. I hope they hang it above the old antique wooden telephone in their living room, it looked great! (Height - 18cm) (Photographer - Ben Redlich)
