Stitched lyrics

I never really thought about it before, but someone asked me why my hobbies were and I replied with the usual, crochet, knitting, walking... And then I rememberd I like to take meaningful lyrics and stitch them freestyle/cross stitch onto Aida. I guess it's a hobby, I find it fun and do it in my spare time.

So here are a few I have done recently:

Lyrics from the dixie chicks songs "cowboy take me away" "top of the world" and "am I the only one".

Lyrics from Taylor Swift songs "fifteen" "change" and "mine".

Lyrics to "Caledonia" by Dougie McLean.

Lyrics from "Fire in the sun" by Adam Holmes.

Final semester

Well I'm back at uni for the final semester! It's getting quite scary now. My inspiration is from plates, lace and florals. With research and links with children's wear and knitwear companies - maybe companies I will want to work with? :s 

Here is my studio space, and yes those are fairy lights!!!

I have been drawing flowers with pen, painting and also cutting paper. And drawing them in repeats in a square.

And finally a few inspirational fashion images :)
