Foxy friends
WELCOME TO THE WORLD
We love to meet a new friend and these cute fox kits from Heritage Crafts* are just our thing! This latest furry character is illustrated by Peter Underhill and these first designs show the little fox in different scenes as they learn about the world. In ‘Let’s Bee Friends’ and ‘Hello’ you can see them meeting a bee and a butterfly for the first time!
Each individual kit includes Zweigart 14-count aida, DMC stranded cottons, a needle, and a clear chart and instructions.
The charts are medium-size and will work well in a frame or as small cushions – they make great gifts for little ones’ bedrooms, too!
MINDFUL TIMES
This beautiful new book is a stylishly simple celebration of the joys of small-scale stitching projects.

It’s also the perfect gift for a friend who wants to enjoy the mindful benefits of cross stitching and learn more about a calmer mindset.
