Cross Stitcher Magazine

A lovely little feature on me, my work and my designs as cross stitches. Thanks for featuring my work guys, I hope to be taking some of the cross stitch patterns to the Christmas fairs I'm doing in Brighton shortly.

PS If anyone likes my cross stitches check out my Etsy shop and a special thanks to my sister Emma who turns my designs into cross stitches. Her Etsy shop is full of cute and typographical patterns (I love the mess patterns!)

Autumn 2015

Happy Autumn!

Hello readers, hope you've had a good Summer! I've had a great time swimming in the sea and exploring the downs (as you can see by my new designs!) I'm taking part in events and commissions in all sorts of places at the moment. Interested? Read on…

The Big Hoot

As you might know, I painted a space-themed design onto a giant owl sculpture in the name of charity. My design, "One Giant Hoot for Owl-kind", joined over 80 other giant birds across Birmingham this Summer and there's still time to see them if you're quick. The outdoor exhibition is on till the 27th September, when they will be packed up and auctioned off in aid of Birmingham Children's Hospital. If you can't see the owls in the flesh don't fear, check out The Big Hoot's Twitter for lots of pictures and their shop to buy owl merchandise. Twwoo! Venues across Birmingham

CUT OUT + KEEP INTERVIEW   Some time ago, I was approached by Cat at Cut Out + Keep who do something called Superstar Sundays, where they interview designers/makers/artists after asking them to create their own version of Crafterella, the blog mascot. Crafterella is at least part cat and mine is no exception, although she is a superhero saving the world from craft project catastrophes too!   Read it here ➛

Lewes Exhibition

I've got a small display of my artwork including originals, prints and cards in the windows of Lewes Framers, in the picturesque Sussex town. My work will be on show and sale from mid September until Bonfire Night. Lewes is one of my favourite bits of the local area and has a wonderful Victorian outdoor pool called Pells Pools. It's inspired me to create a new piece called "Lido Time", which will be on display (and is also available in my Etsy / NOTHS shops too!) Lewes Framers 2½ Mount Place Lewes BN7 1YH

ETSY SHOPPING   Speaking of shopping I've been busy revamping my Etsy shop and filling it with lots of goodies. Luckily for me my talented sister Emma is an expert cross stitch pattern maker and she's been amending some of my designs to make into printable patterns that you can stitch yourself. If you're feeling crafty check out the Christmas Reindeer, the ever-popular Flight of Fancy, and new arrivals: a bunch of Meow Stitch patterns. As a thank you for being part of my newsletter, I'm giving all subscribers 10% off my products in my Etsy Shop until the end of October. Just enterAUTUMNNEWS when you place your order.   Visit my Etsy Store ➛

Cross Stitch Patterns Work in Progress!

Some time ago my sister talented designer and crafter (Emma Scott ) suggested that my illustrations would make great cross stitch patterns. After several months of hard stitching and pattern designing we've now got several collaborative efforts in the form of Trees, Birds, Hot Dogs and Christmas all live to buy and download on my Etsy Shop.

Here are some more designs in progress. If anyone has any favourites do let me know and we can try to launch these first (or are there any of my designs you'd like to make?!) I think mine are the Alice in Wonderland characters and the Meows!
