This gallery wall is the first big project that I finished in my new apartment! I've been working on it for a long time. It took me a while to find frames to fit my pictures because I sourced most of them from charity shops.

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know that I've spent this past week in Scotland with James! Our first stop was Edinburgh, and we spent two days here.

It was my Dad's birthday at the start of the month, and he is so difficult to buy for. Instead of buying him something he doesn't want or need, I decided to stitch a picture of our bunny Archie for him. It was a time-consuming project but not a difficult one. If you like the idea you could follow these steps to make an embroidered picture of anything - but pictures of pets are the best!
