About Me

I cross-stitch song lyrics from all the best bands onto lovely Aida fabric for you to frame and keep; who says crafting isn't punk-rock?

My first collection is called 'Rebel Girl', featuring excerpts from songs by all yr grrlie faves: Hole, PJ Harvey, Sleater Kinney and Le Tigre. One-offs one and all, so if you like anything in particular, send me a message and I'll reserve it for you, or buy, buy, buy at my Etsy shop! Tis here: thecrossbitch.etsy.com.

And I also take commissions - if you have any song lyric in mind, it's likely I can stitch it up for you! Message me to discuss design and lyric - it'll cost between 10-20 quid, depending on fiddliness/length.... :)

Possibly coming soon: the 'Headbangers' Ball' collection, cos I quite like the notion of sitting in cafes stitching the phrase 'People = Shit'......

My Interests

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who wants to buy my lovely wares or wants a commissioned piece ;) Fellow crafters, girls with guitars and boys in glasses that read Camus are fine and dandy as well.

My Blog

Oh, and following on from the last post........

This is the piece I've donated....it took me ages to do, and I hope someone likes it and bids lots for it.... ...
