This very special personalised baby card was ordered by one of my repeat Irish customers to bring with them to America to celebrate the birth of their grandson.

The baby card range has expanded now to include this crib along with the baby vests, bunny and very popular teddy bear.

Have you a favourite among my baby cards?

Today I did some work on a custom order, posted a double bookmark order and had a lovely river walk after the rain stopped.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend 😊

I raided my piggy bank recently to create this special anniversary card. Copper is the traditional gift for a seventh wedding anniversary. The number seven on this card is embroidered in copper light effects metallic thread. Each disc is the size of an actual life sized penny! The background is copper coloured non shed glitter card.

Tell me what do you think of this card.

Never be afraid to ask if something is possible. This customer seen my new French knot heart and wanted it for her husband’s birthday card. He loves looking at the stars and moon so I was asked to include those at the top of the card. I shaped the moon to represent the Waning Gibbous phase which was the moon on his birthday.

The recipient was delighted with his card as he’d never had a handmade card made especially for him before. One of the reasons I create handmade cards is to spread joy ❤️

Let me know what you think of this custom order card.

I’d a day trip to Kilkenny city today with my mum for tasty lunch and a wander. Otherwise I’ve been walking, sketching and stitching custom orders.

Where does the magic begin? Here, choosing colours! I'm matching embroidery thread colours to Spectrum Noir colouring pencils for a Father's Day card for my dad. Threads from last weeks stitching can be seen in background of both photos.

Behind the scenes I've been adjusting to holidays while attending appointments that I left while working. Been to GP for checkup, nurse for smear test and dentist. Yesterday gardening (window boxes and a herb garden pot eventually done), today it's wet I'm back happily stitching. Hope your week is going smoothly 😊

Firsts and lasts for these creative well travelled stitches! Would you believe these purple flowers were the first artwork | sketched and embroidered by hand for Incognito 2026? This artwork is the last one to fully reveal and also it was the last of my trio to sell!

I stitched this floral piece in Spain while on holidays for February midterm.

I'm thinking they could possibly be Chrysanthemums or Michaelmas Daisies. Any thoughts or any other flowers you think they could be? 😊

Sparkle time! Come with me to see how this new card sparkles and shines in the light. A night sky and my new heart combined for this special handmade greeting card for a man who loves astronomy.

Hope your new week contains small moments to make you smile 😊

Vibrant colourful flowers are needed to brighten up this Friday! I've named the flowers even though I originally sketched them as a mixed fantasy/ fictional bouquet unless anyone knows where tulips and summer blooms all flower at once 😂

Which flower caught your eye?

The second reveal from this years Incognito artworks which were sold in aid of Jack & Jill Children's Foundation to raise money for nursing hours for sick children. My flowers are embroidered by hand onto linen effect card not fabric.

Hope you're having a fabulous Friday ❤️

These red anemones will be forever in bloom! The red anemones with their dark purple flower centres were the most popular choice from this years Incognito Artworks. I was looking for inspiration when I spied these beautiful red, pink and blue anemones while wandering a garden centre with mum in February.

I hope you enjoy looking at the handmade anemones up close.

Today was putting cards together and having a chat n cuppa while hand delivering a card to a repeat customer. Next is reformer pilates, trying to remember days of week and my routine while no day job! 😄

The activation switch for lots of creativity and well deserved free time has been pressed! So far I’m stitching custom orders, been to a fab concert, camping, lots of relaxing watching the garden birds, and a teeny bit of gardening. Went to see Snow Patrol in Dublin and camped overnight near the sea.

Last photo shows a sneak peek (well the reverse view!) along with the dangers of stitching while wearing a magnetic watch strap 🙈😂

For those wondering at my free time, I’m a home tuition secondary teacher and the school year ended Friday! The fabulous flowers in first photo are one of many thoughtful gifts I received.

Wishing you a wonderful June hopefully filled with things that bring you joy 😊

Congratulations to the happy couple! This new handmade card has just landed in my online store. The embroidered heart is surrounded by gently twinkling French knots and layered onto an embossed background of that beautiful verse “Love is patient, love is kind…”.

Perfect for so many celebration occasions like engagement, wedding, anniversary or a relationship milestone.

Let me know what you think of it. More details can be found in the comments!

I hope you’ve been enjoying the sunshine from our mini heatwave. I was thankful for the slight breeze today! 😄
