Jacobean crewel work embroidery kit - rabbits

Anne from Broomfield - Hei Hei

This could be a great Xmas gift for a beginner or intermediate embroiderer.
The kit contains everything you need to create a small, 15cm x 15cm piece using Jacobean crewel stitches on quality linen, showing a couple of cute bunnies in a field

The kit is in original condition and contains linen with stamped design, booklet with instructions and visual representations of all the stitches, all of the coloured wools needed, needles, scissors, hoops, a hoop stand and some kind of weird tool that I think is to tighten and loosen the hoops. The wools are beautifully presented in a box, the hoops and stand are plastic wrapped and never opened, and the whole kit is in a lovely linen bag with a gorgeous Jacobean design on it.

The Crewel Work Company, based in the UK, also has heaps of instruction videos on YouTube to help beginners work the Jacobean stitches.

It’s a really lovely little piece that could be framed for a child’s room or sewn onto a small cushion or cot blanket.

I have opened the box so reduced the price accordingly.

Pick up from Broomfield or add $10 postage.
Edit: More photos are available, message me your email address and I can send the lot

Price: $100

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....

In one word, how would you define 2024?

We're excited to see what you come up with!

We're talking new year resolutions...

Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.

What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
