I take a lot of photographs of all sorts of things, including my makes, my students’ makes, crafty moments and details from everyday life, especially floral portraits, light and shadow, glorious colours and found patterns. To see more of my own and my students’ work, please visit my Pinterest page.

Inspired by the beautiful golden shades of autumn I have been busy painting the lounge a glorious warm honey ochre. Quite a transformation from the terracotta we have had for a long time. #painting #inspiredbynature #yellow #golden #mycottage #countryliving #countrylife #ancientroom #inglenook #keepsmebusy #keepsmehappy #lovepainting #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage #lounge

In between zooming with talks and courses, catching up on ‘His Dark Materials’, watching an eclectic selection of films and sorting stock, I have been indulging in some therapeutic slow hand stitching to show what you could go on to make if you make one of my stars. I shall pause it here as it’s just a teaching sampler but you get the idea. #patchwork #patchworkquilt #templates #slowstitching #handstitched #handmade #therapy #englishpaperpiecing #diamonds #thingstodoinlockdown #makesmehappy #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage #quiltersofinstagram

I don’t know the official name for stitching seams like this but I love it! It adds texture and more colour and it’s very relaxing to stitch #stitch #stitchersofinstagram #orange #hotcolours #mytherapy #lovesewing #stitchingathome #sashikothread #handstitched #embellishments #thingstodoonarainyday #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage
Just taken delivery of these beautiful sashiko threads from @japancrafts who have a great range of colours and are so quick to send. Sashiko threads are 100% cotton, matte texture and very satisfying to stitch with. Now… I have a book jacket to finish and write up as a pattern so you can make your own version #sashiko #sashikostitching #lovesewing #workinprogress #justarrived #mytherapy #craft #youcanmakeit #christinegreencrafts #craftingatthecottage
