I decided to try my hand at embroidery, practicing on my least favourite pair of jeans in case it went terribly. But now that I’ve finished, I think I might have a new favourite pair 👀

@Millyag11 I didn’t have a pattern but this photo popped up on my Pinterest and I wanted to try it, even though I don’t know anything about stitching other than cross stitch. I only used a couple of types of stitches and just hoped for best 🤞

@RCrawfordArt Six strands, but on some bits like the pinky-red flowers, the daisy petals and the sunflower petals, I did two rows next to each other 🙂

@emmypilkington I’d tried cross stitch before which I think helps you get used to using a needle but literally only my second time with embroidery. If you’re interested in trying, it might be worth getting either a cross stitch or an embroidery kit to build up your confidence first.

I live near a little boutique and I’ve been staring at this hat in their window for three weeks. Now it’s mine! ✨ Shopping slowly, and very intentionally, is so much more satisfying.

THIS. Thank you, Richie 💙. I have Crohn’s disease and I’m on immunosuppressants. Crohn’s won’t kill me, or shorten my lifespan. But it makes me extra vulnerable to Covid, which could. I’m not disposable just because I’m ‘vulnerable’. Brilliantly put 👏

The language used about people with pre-existing conditions bothers me. Having a condition doesn’t all of a sudden mean you’re disposable & early death is inevitable. Some of you sound like eugenicists & its nasty. This isn’t survival of the fittest & whoever dies it’s “oh well”.

Losing and gaining weight is common for people living with Crohn's or Colitis. Nikki, this affected how she felt about her clothes and herself. In our latest blog Nikki tells us how she spruced up an old pair of jeans and found her style again.
