A fun collaboration with Cloud Craft and a stitchy love video!

I'm very happy to announce that I have joined teams with the lovely Nicole at Cloudraft  to create a pack with everything you need to make your own Mr and Mrs Deer ...just in time for Valentines Day. 

And to celebrate I even created a little short stop motion 'film' lasting all of 37 seconds long.....I promise if you watch it will make you smile ....all be it in a cheesy cringe worthy way ;) You know you want to!

Cloudcraft is a beautifully curated online shop selling handpicked needlecraft items, as well as a scrumptious range of 100% wool felt (which I personally have found quite hard to come by). 

Nicole has created a special pack where you can buy the 5 different coloured wool felts with 6 matching coloured DMC embroidery threads OR you can simply buy the felt or thread separately.

I wholeheartedly recommend the felt..it is such great quality, super thick, soft and vibrant in colour. 

To celebrate this collaboration Nicole has generously offered a 15% discount on the Mr and Mrs Deer pack Simply use the coupon DEERLOVE15 at the Cloudcraft checkout.

And to join in the love I am also offering the same discount off the Pdf pattern over here. Again type in the code  DEERLOVE15 at the checkout to get 15% off!

**The discount will run until and including Feb 14th 2016**

So go on then... what's stopping you to get some stitchy love into your life? ;)x

Mr and Mrs Deer - a new sewing and embroidery pattern

I hope you are all keeping cosy (or at least those in the cold climes).. Scotland seems to be missing winter this year which is sightly unnerving. It's been rain , rain and some more rain. 
Still, it's been the perfect weather to be working on a fun wee project. I actually made the first prototypes 2 summers ago (when there was more rain!), which just shows how long it can be before some ideas come to fruition.
Anyhow, let me introduce you to Mr and Mrs Deer.... a right pair of love birds deer! The pdf pattern is now available as an instant download, so you can make your very own here.

The 'naked version'

They've been designed so that you can get a little creative with them, and change up the details you want to add. 
Instructions are given on making both deer heads (different templates are used for Mrs Doe and Mr Deer as there are slight differences....Mr Deer has a wider brow because he's so manly. Grrr!) 
There are templates and instructions for adding doe spots, stitched fur, embroidered flowers, dahlia and rose corsages plus a bow/tie.You can also opt for leaving the mini heads as they are ----------> 

Or opt for adding a decorative backplate.

I think they'd look great in any kids bedroom or nursery. I also think they'd make the perfect little gift for a wedding , or for valentines... don't you agree? Great thing is you and mix and match to suit the special loved up couple, be it Mr and Mrs, Mrs and Mrs or Mr and Mr.

I'm working on a kit version for these...always take much longer to create and I was too impatient to wait and share!

Here's to love :)x
