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

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

My pet portrait hoops have been popular wedding gifts - a bit more personal than a plate or towel set :) This cat has beautiful striking markings and had the purrfect pose for their embroidered portrait! #weddinggift #caturday ow.ly/V13y50G8b69

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

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

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

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

I recorded this with Merope this week…it was incredibly raw and powerful. Our interview goes out today on BBC Radio 4 at 10am on BBC Woman's Hour - I would urge you to listen live if you can or later on BBC Sounds

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!) buff.ly/3S0dZHj
