I'm Hayley, an independent cross-stitch designer based in rural Mid-Wales, where I run Stitching Cabin.

My designs are inspired by the changing Welsh landscape throughout the year. I love the idea of using stitching to mark the changing seasons.

My designs are all created from my home studio and I run my creative business alongside busy family life as a mum of two small children. I love the way that keeping busy with my hands can help quiet my ADHD mind.

When I’m not stitching, I love reading, bullet journaling, fountain pens and matching the colour of my ink to the seasons!

My love of bullet journaling eventually inspired me to create The Stitcher’s Almanac — a dedicated stitching planner.
