My Story
I believe small things can make a big difference.
Wishful Stitches began during a difficult chapter of my life, when illness meant I had to step away from my job in retail. During that time, I discovered crafting - first through making dream catchers for my children, and later through keyrings, bracelets, needle minders and embroidered gifts.
Over the years, my health has changed, and I now live with chronic illnesses and disabilities, including Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Functional Neurological Disorder and complex PTSD. Crafting has become so much more than a hobby. It gives me focus, purpose and a reason to keep creating, even on the harder days.
Wishful Stitches is built around care, creativity and heart. I make machine embroidered keyrings, home decor, pocket hugs, needle minders and thoughtful little gifts, each one created with the hope of bringing comfort, encouragement or a smile.
I love making personalised pieces that feel meaningful to the person receiving them. Every order is made with care, using quality materials and attention to detail - never rushed, never just another item.
Thank you for supporting Wishful Stitches. Every visit, order, kind message and share means more than you know. This little business gives me purpose - and making you smile makes it all worthwhile.
