I have always loved arts and crafts! As a little girl, I loved to draw and as I got older I tried to have at least one creative and crafty project a year around my day job (such as painting pumpkins, découpaging advent calendars, making Christmas stockings and many more!). Whilst heavily pregnant and nesting during lockdown, I turned to craft to keep me relaxed and to come up with something special and unique for my little one's nursery. I decided to try my hand at punch needle embroidery and bought a kit and away I went. Before long, I was hooked and even after Leo's arrival, I found myself sketching out designs and making more hoops during nap times. Not content with confining myself to creating characters for his safari-themed nursery, I carried on creating more designs and started making hoops for friends and family and then decided to set up Flossie & Bean. You may be wondering where the name Flossie & Bean comes from, well... "Flossie" is my husband's nickname for me and from the moment we saw Leo on our first scan, we have called him "our little bean"! I hope that my creations bring a little bit of joy to those who receive them. Thank you for reading!

If this isn’t a sign that cosy crafting season has arrived, I don’t know what is 🍄

Last night’s workshop was a very autumnal mix of punch needle, chatting and making — with toadstools, pumpkins, hot chocs, ghosts and acorns all taking shape.

Although apparently I’m not allowed to stay in Autumn for long… because Christmas workshops are already filling up 🎄

Thank you so much for all your bookings so far! If you fancy a festive evening of crafting, my first batch of Christmas dates are on the website now and some are already getting limited.

Can you make a cute little brown bear? 🐻

Yes, I can! 👀

If there’s an animal you’d love to have turned into a cute little punch needle piece, I can create it as a bespoke piece just for you.

So whether it’s a favourite animal, a much-loved pet or something completely random, drop me a message and let’s see what I can create. 🧶✨

What animal would you choose?

Another sell-out workshop earlier this week 🧶🤍

A lovely mix of returning faces, including one who brought more friends along, some complete beginners and even someone who’d previously tried punch needle and given up!

I’m so passionate about crafting for wellbeing, so seeing everyone leave with big smiles and proudly admiring their decorations is everything. 🥹

There’s something about a couple of hours of slow, mindful crafting that makes you switch off, forget the outside world and just enjoy making something.

Who’s joining me for the next one? 🧶

Officially obsessed with adventure play parks. 😂

This was our 5th one and the quality and design is just as brilliant as the others we’ve visited.

The boys were particularly excited about the little Winston train from Blenheim Palace (where we’d visited the car show) down to the Walled Garden area 🚂

Then came the water play, slides and zip wires… basically everything required for two very happy, very tired boys. 😂

I’m now on a mission to visit ALL the Capco adventure playgrounds…. Which ones should we add to our list? 👇🏼

A little throwback to last weekend before the chaos of this week 🫠

For Gary’s birthday, I bought us tickets to Salon Privé at Blenheim Palace. He’s a big car fan, so it seemed like the perfect birthday treat… except both sets of grandparents were away, meaning the boys had to come too 😂

After the last car show we took them to was a bit of a disaster, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t exactly looking forward to it 🙈

But we actually all had a brilliant day 🙌

We got to dress up, Gary got to ogle at ridiculously expensive cars, I got to ogle at ridiculously expensive jewellery 💎 and the boys got to visit the adventure play park as a reward for behaving themselves!

A win all round 👌

I’ll share a separate reel of the adventure play park because that definitely deserves its own post!
