I have always loved arts and crafts! As a little girl, I loved to draw and as I got older I tried to have at least one creative and crafty project a year around my day job (such as painting pumpkins, découpaging advent calendars, making Christmas stockings and many more!). Whilst heavily pregnant and nesting during lockdown, I turned to craft to keep me relaxed and to come up with something special and unique for my little one's nursery. I decided to try my hand at punch needle embroidery and bought a kit and away I went. Before long, I was hooked and even after Leo's arrival, I found myself sketching out designs and making more hoops during nap times. Not content with confining myself to creating characters for his safari-themed nursery, I carried on creating more designs and started making hoops for friends and family and then decided to set up Flossie & Bean. You may be wondering where the name Flossie & Bean comes from, well... "Flossie" is my husband's nickname for me and from the moment we saw Leo on our first scan, we have called him "our little bean"! I hope that my creations bring a little bit of joy to those who receive them. Thank you for reading!

Did you know that making time to be creative could give your wellbeing a little boost?

Research led by University College London in partnership with BBC Arts, explored the link between creativity and wellbeing and found some lovely reasons to make more time for the things we enjoy.

✨Trying new creative activities can be particularly beneficial.
✨Getting creative with others can bring an extra boost.
✨ And you don’t need to be an artist or have any experience. Sometimes, it’s simply about slowing down, trying something new and enjoying the process.

Which is exactly why I’d love you to join me for a festive punch needle workshop this Christmas! 🎄

Think cosy crafting, a little time for yourself and the joy of making something lovely with your own hands.

My December workshop dates are now live on my website (link in bio) and places are filling up!

I also have a handful of dates left for private workshops if you’d like to get a group of friends together for something a little different (Send me a DM for more info).

Can’t make it along in person? Don’t worry! I’ve also got a range of punch needle kits so you can enjoy a little creative time at home too. 🧶

💌 Head to my website to find your perfect way to get creative this festive season.

“Mummy, we usually just carve the pumpkins… so please can we make some pumpkin soup this year?” 🥹🎃🍂

A lovely morning activity with my biggest boy, turning our pumpkins into something delicious. From chopping up the pumpkin and cooking it together, to roasting the seeds and finally tasting the fruits of our labour. 🥣✨

A little messy (Leo hated the stringy insides 🤣), a lot of fun and the sweetest reminder that some of the best childhood memories are made in the simplest of moments.

Nothing screams Autumn quite like homemade pumpkin soup!

You lovely lot have blown me away!

So many of my November punch needle workshops have already SOLD OUT and after so many of you asking for December dates, I’ve decided to release them EARLY! 🎉✨

I honestly didn’t expect spaces to go quite this quickly and I’m feeling so grateful to everyone who’s booked, shared my workshops or recommended them to a friend. It really does mean the world!

✨ DECEMBER WORKSHOPS ARE NOW LIVE! ✨

If you’ve been thinking about joining one of my Christmas workshops, this is your little nudge not to leave it too late! Spaces are being snapped up quicker than I anticipated, so head to the link in my bio to book your spot.

I can’t wait to get creative with more of you. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! 🙏💛
