It’s been a long time since I had a go at free-motion embroidery. Only creating grass stems so can’t really go too far wrong can I?
This was me experimenting for a bigger piece I’m making.

A beautifully, gentle way to see every morning. Thank you.
The world was big, and sometimes Wren’s worries about it felt even bigger. She couldn’t fix much, but each morning she could sing.
A tiny voice in a vast world.
Small things matter when things feel so heavy. Each day she sang her morning melody and the world felt a little lighter.

This is the first time in ages that I haven’t grown sunflowers in my garden. Difficulties with germination, slugs and squirrels means I’ve been marvelling at other people’s sunflowers while creating my own needle felted versions. #hobbzdesigns #sunflowers #textileart sunflowerart
The hollyhocks seem to be fading quicker this year but still as beautiful and dreamy as ever. They never cease to amaze me with their wide ranging palette of colours. #hollyhocks #garden #gardening #inspiration
