I up-cycle and repurpose fabric (with the
occasional new piece thrown in) with cross stitch, embroidery and sewing to
create gifts. My ideas evolve from doodles, designs and from just letting the
fabric tell me how it wants to be used – delving into my fabric boxes and
pulling out the fabric that speaks to me on that occasion to create items such
as quilts, cushions pr bags (with a little bit of knitting thrown in for good
measure). These are either centred around a cross stitch or embroidered design
(I like to think of stitching as painting on fabric with threads), either from
my own design or from charts or from the fabric itself. For inspiration I look
to nature and the world around me through the lens of my camera and try to look
at things from different angles. My love of fabric, sewing needles and threads,
beads and all things fluffy and sparkly have helped to create LittlemouseLilly
a whirlwind of creativity.
I started this blog to introduce my makes, my photography and me. To share my journey through life - being creative, looking after pets, my wonderful husband and living with a chronic illness and other health issues.
I hope you enjoy this peek into my world...
