FINDING TIME TO CRAFT

urrently, I’m a manager in a consulting team at Deloitte and cross stitching is something I do in my free time as a hobby. I usually combine my stitching with an audiobook when it comes to ‘me-time’ as being in full-time employment is very busy, so I squeeze in whatever time I have left in the day to work on my projects. That inevitably means they take longer to complete, around about six months, but I don’t mind as I love working on big projects due to my ambitious nature and only make small ones if I need a last-minute present for a loved one. What inspires me to cross stitch is the gratification I receive when I make something out of nothing, seeing the colours all on the fabric to make a pixelated for all of the wonderful designs and inspiration you provide – finding the magazine in my letterbox is always one of the happiest days of the month for me.
