She said: "Soul sisters pattern. I've been saving this for a special dear friend we have been friends since high school. She has two sisters and she's the middle one.

Remember, it doesn't need to be fancy—just you, your hoop, and your love for embroidery! | | I've been working on so many cool upcoming projects this week - a magazine feature (exciting!), a pillowcase kit, guest artist collabs, and our upcoming snowman pattern. Stay tuned for when these all come to life! I've also been creating some non-work projects in my evenings. And it's a good reminder about how valuable some crafting me-time is at the end of the day. Ah the mindful bliss! It's not often I work on a project that is 'just for me', with no pressure or outcome required. So that's been really fun! And it makes me really happy to think our Clever Poppy projects can fill this space in your evenings. Have a wonderful week xx | | | | |
