I am interested in embroidery of all kinds, especially miniature needlepoint, which is what I design for a living. When I am not working, I love doing Dances of Universal Peace. Other interests include the Sufi spiritual path, social issues, politics, gardening, dressmaking and alternative health.
My website www.janetgranger.co.uk is where all the designs for miniature needlepoint kits for doll’s houses can be found, and bought, if the fancy takes you. But on my blog you’ll hopefully be able to find out more about what motivates me to design, along with images of stitching in progress (both miniature and ‘full-size’).
I have been married to Chris since 1993. He helps me with all the technical stuff that needs doing on my website (fortunately!!), as well as running his own business, www.small-shoes.co.uk , which is a website that sells adult shoes for women with very small feet (sizes equivalent to children’s 13 up to adult 3, or Continental 31 to 35). He started the business because of me – I take a size 2, or 33.5 in Continental sizing, and there was just NOTHING available in the shops for me – it was so depressing!
In our ‘previous existences’, he worked as a teacher, and I worked in a library. Until 1999, we lived in Essex, but we then moved to the Peak District, and now live in a peaceful village surrounded by fields (and sheep).
