First post

I’ve been meaning to start a blog for ages. I wanted a way to keep in touch with people who are interested in the same things as me – embroidery of all kinds, especially miniature needlepoint, which is what I design for a living – as well as all the things that I am interested in when I am not working. These include Dances of Universal Peace (more on this – MUCH more, probably!), my interest in the Sufi spiritual path, social issues, politics, gardening, dressmaking, 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 here 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’).
