Without our nail technicians, many service users would be unable to get their shoes on/risk of falls = not able to get out = isolated/ overall decline.
We are looking for Nail technicians.(no experience necessary!)

I recorded this with @meropemills this week…it was incredibly raw and powerful.

These two bulldogs have the best expressions and they have paired up perfectly for their embroidered #petportrait ow.ly/IjYI50GkSbc #bulldogs
This Robin cushion has been hiding away waiting patiently for me to let him fly the nest. This is the last of my blue herringbone Harris Tweed, but if you'd like to commission a different colour I can make to order #earlybiz #robin ow.ly/9ZqT50GkpH1

My first lion commission was a joy to make - his golden flowing mane is perfect for free motion embroidery and blends nicely with the herringbone #HarrisTweed ow.ly/GEuk50Gkkza

These badgers are channelling their autumnal vibes - stitched onto orange and green Harris Tweed which remind me of the changing colour of leaves #EarlyBiz #autumnal ow.ly/5i9X50GiPTI
Lucie looks like a cat who means business! She has lovely markings and the purrfect model for a free motion embroidered cushion. #EarlyBiz #petportrait ow.ly/GbnT50Gi5d8
A cute badger combo paired with a classic red and white herringbone Harris Tweed. Well you have to match your cushions to your wall art don't you? #womaninbiz #wineoclock #badgers ow.ly/kb8750Gi3vD
My pet portrait hoops have been popular wedding gifts - a bit more personal than a plate or towel set :)

This customer's sofa is amazing! She commissioned me to make an oyster catcher cushion to sit on her patchwork Harris Tweed sofa - he has found the perfect nesting place! #EarlyBiz ow.ly/SgVZ50G7und
A pet portrait commission featuring Nina who is sitting very serenely on her Harris Tweed cushion. Her wavy hair was perfect for creating lots of depth and texture using free motion embroidery #womaninbiz ow.ly/ItGU50FVZyM
