GO TO BLOG What have our Makers been up to? Our members have been busy stitching up this Floral Frame pattern. Danielle has stitched up hers in a cool colour scheme to give to her mum.   She says: "Loved stitching this one! Just need to add backing and a pic."   I just know her mum will love it! ❤️ What's inspiring me on the creative front... How incredible is this wood burned design by @hippienorth? Courtney is a self-taught Canadian artist that has been woodburning since 2016. This talented lady specializes in realistic animal and people portraits as well as architectural designs and landscapes. Court says nature is her biggest inspiration. She is always including earthy elements into her original woodburning pieces. This lady is on fire - not literally, but her work is! Hilarious inside the brain video Laugh out loud was an understatement when I discovered this reel by the hilarious @maddy_macrae. I can't tell you how many times I've done this in my daily life or when Matty and I are going away on holiday. Needless to say, I'm no longer allowed to be the one who does the final checks before we leave the house. This Aussie actress and comedian also has heaps more hilarious and relatable content on her page.  In our world... Wow the weeks fly by when you're in holiday mode. I feel like I was writing last week's newsletter a day or so ago. We're still boating, and our days have been filled with fishing, snorkelling, sailing, socialising and the best weather we could hope for! It's a welcome change from last year's summer weather, which featured weeks of rain.   On the work front, we're grateful we can tick things along using our starlink connection. And I've been focused on developing some really cute Easter designs. Get ready for some bunnies!   Also, thanks for all your love of our new packaging, threads, and the stitch sampler kit! These have flown out the door and are zooming to our lovely makers all over the world. I can't wait to hear what you think of the video experience. Stay tuned for the imminent release of the new Flora the Cat design too…   Have a wonderful week, everyone!   No longer want to receive these emails? Unsubscribe.
