This little business started in the most unexpected way, simply from wanting to create something special.
Before all of this, I had never even touched an embroidery machine. I began thinking about how lovely it would be to make personalised items myself rather than always buying them. I wanted the things I created to feel more meaningful — something made with care and love.
Around that time I was admitted to hospital for a few days, and as you can imagine, being stuck in a hospital bed gives you a lot of time to think. One evening I was scrolling through Facebook when I came across a second-hand embroidery machine for sale.
Something about it just caught my attention.
I messaged straight away to ask if it was still available, and while I was still lying in that hospital bed I started writing down so many ideas — baby outfits, personalised gifts, pyjamas and keepsakes.
As soon as I was discharged from hospital, I went to collect my very first embroidery machine. I remember feeling so excited on the drive home. At the time I never imagined it would turn into a business. I simply wanted to try making beautiful things.
But then something amazing started to happen.
Friends and family began asking for personalised items. Every single request meant so much because it showed that other people loved these handmade pieces just as much as I loved creating them.
What started as a simple idea is now growing into something I’m incredibly proud of.
Today I run a small embroidery business, creating personalised pieces for families and businesses. I especially love making baby sets and personalised pyjamas — there’s something so special about knowing these items will become part of someone’s memories.
Every order is made with care, pride and a lot of love. Being able to build this little business while raising a family means the world to me, and I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported me along the way.
Thank you for supporting my small business.
