Yes, I could spend the time painting instead of making, but where is the fun in that?!
Lol, anyway, I am always enamoured by the look of framed embroidery so defo wanted to give that a go.

A Mini Mixed Bag Of Me On TV
Hallo you. Just wanted to pop onto the blog and let you know that I am currently wending my way down to Peterborough for a couple of brief appearances on Create and Craft TV tomorrow.
Both shows will be on Create and Craft TV tomorrow, Sunday 18th February 2018.

- GoPress And Foil Techniques Using Angelina Fusible Film And Fibres
The second will be at midday and will feature the CoLiDo 3D printer.

Other regions of the world may be able to watch and shop via the live stream on Create and Craft TV. Depends on where you are I guess.
