My first tattoo right after it was done. I got a Swedish Dala horse in honor of my Scandinavian heritage and my passion for horses in general. The embroidered design was a nod to my love of fiber art. Embroidery is one of my favorite techniques. Now I can say that I didn’t get tattooed, I got embroidered!

At 1pm on Saturday 10th April, craftivists joined in a nationwide protest to demand a halt to rail fare increases. Currently the coalition Government plans to hike fares by 31% over the next 4 years whilst continuing to say that will be the greenest Government yet.
Hundreds of craftivists (activists who protest using scissors, thread and fabric) converged on railway stations across the UK for a protest picnic and stitch-in. From Brighton and Cornwall, Dorset and Devon to Leeds, Sheffield, Manchester and London. All stitch-ins brought together eager craftivists, who shared their message with members of the public who wanted to find out about the unique action.
