It's quite handy having a framing business, as I get to frame my own work, some of my embroidery and a keepsake frame with a full set of bagpipes for my father-in-law.
Do you have anything you need framed?

No matter what, it is hard to not have favourites, but when it is my fourth granddaughter, their casts always win in my eyes. Little Lucia just 7 days old, and one completely open hand.

Sorry no castings this week, I’m in Palmerston North for the NZ Embroidery conference.
Last night was awards night and two of my three pieces entered. ‘My Identity’ ( gold lady, which I designed about all the things that identity me). Charcuterie board, ( which is just the posh word for a cheese board, something that is our family tradition), and ‘UP’ from the Pixar movie, which is the most beautiful story of love, grief, discovery & friendship.
I have been crafting since a young child and selling. I meet many of my clients around Central Otago at markets, marketing Momentoes for future business, and selling my own crafts alongside under Starlightcraft. I have always had a fascination with stitching, I made dolls clothes for my Daisy dolls as a child (wow that’s a through-back, who else had daisy dolls)?
I started attending Wanaka embroidery school and that’s where embroidery captured my heart. I create everyday to sell, but embroidery is purely for my enjoyment. I joined the Central Otago Embroidery Guild three years ago and haven’t looked back. I entered a piece in the Dunedin conference two years ago, and it got second in the members section. Now that I have two firsts, I can now only compete in the Open sections, which means competing with the big guns….. tutors and embroiderers that have been embroidering for a lot longer than me, and I mean by decades for many. I love the challenge of coming up with an idea, and then problem solving how am I going to achieve it.
So, I thought I’d share a little about me to all my lovely followers.
