Pumpkin Brooch, Hand embroidered

I became chronically ill 18 years ago, and 12 years ago I had to give up the job that I loved due to chronic illnesses.

With lots of hours to fill, and no longer able to do much physically, I turned to crafting. 

Over the years I've dabbled in many crafts, but embroidery especially has become my passion.

I also like to decoupage,hand decorate items, make handmade cards and I also dabble in a little needle felting from time to time!

Crafting is literally my therapy!

I love creating beautiful things to sell,and hopefully bring some joy to others too!

I live with chronic pain and fatigue, and numerous other symptoms due to Fibromyalgia and Degenerative Disc Disease.  I also have Urticarial Vasculitus, High Blood Pressure, Hypothyroidism and Depression.
