https://mailchi.mp/b7a06e868feb/coralies-crafts-gifts-landing-page I served in the army for 13.5 years & was medically discharged from the Army in May 2013 for mental health reasons. In September 2013, I decided to start selling my handmade items as a business. To start off with this was mainly knitted & crocheted

items with a few embroidered items. Over the years this has changed & now my business is mainly machine embroidered gifts, specialising in personalised bespoke towels. I’ve always enjoyed making things & this is mainly due to my beloved Auntie, Enid Threadgould. I used to spend my summer holidays as a child with her up in Beeston, Leeds, where she taught me to knit. We would make dishcloths and egg cosies, plus other items too. At school I learnt to embroider, create models out of clay, learnt to sew & learnt how to crochet and I was hooked. Over the years, I kept on crocheting blankets & baby blankets for friends. Plus I also learnt how to make fancy dress costumes. I now produce embroidered products that can be personalised to your individual needs, ideal for anything from your business, to gifts for your loved ones. Since starting my business in September 2013, I’m really proud of where I am now. I have new focus as I now move to a new shop premises. I love my business, I love bringing joy to those who love my gifts & to those that love what I do. I’m one woman, who loves to make. My business is what keeps my mental health in check. When people fall in love with my products, the boost it gives me is huge. It’s not just my business, but my therapy & a lifestyle necessity. So a huge thanks to my family, my friends, my lovely followers & my most amazing customers. Coralie

Well we’re definitely not in summer now.
Definitely the start to Autumn.

Flo my owl, would just like to brighten up your day with this lovely picture of her in an autumnal setting.
I’m going to look at getting this made into a colouring page and potentially made into cards or postcards.

What do you think everyone? Cards or postcards?
Would you like her as a colouring page?
