I am at my happiest when sitting at my needlepoint frame, stitching and creating – I am excited to think that when people are stitching my kits, they are also feeling the enthusiasm and excitement that I’ve put into them!

My work is for those who consider themselves to be more ‘alternative’, and appreciate bright colours and strange themes – I’m not interested in traditional cottages and flowers … but more Skulls, Leopard Print, Mermaids, Astrology, and whatever else catches my eye.  I’ve also created some ‘Kits For Kids’, which teach children between 8 and 12 how to cross stitch!

I’m now in the process of working on ready-made stitched items, such as clutches and coin purses – be sure to ‘like’ my Facebook page if you want to be kept in the loop!

As well as designing cross stitch kits, I am currently studying the Diploma of Woven Tapestry, and co-host a couple of radio shows on Cathedral 13:   Shadowplay (goth/deathrock/darkwave) and Cannibal Roses (coldwave/dark post-punk).
