All I want for Christmas (27)

<p>Yes, it's that time of year! We think about what we might like to receive this Christmas - from the obvious and perhaps indulgent to the seemingly mundane things that would actually make our day.&nbsp;</p> <p>Welcome to our podcast for all stitchers, embroiderers, textile artists and creative souls, where we have friendly informal conversations about what it actually means to be an artist working in textiles.</p> <p>Isobel and Gina are both practicing artists and tutors specialising in machine embroidery, but we’re still figuring it all out! We chat about combining the creative process with running a business and hope that you will find inspiration and support for your own creative journeys.</p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Mentioned in this episode:</strong></p> <p>Kew Gardens &amp; Wakehurst membership</p> <p><a href="https://www.kew.org/join-and-support" target="_blank">https://www.kew.org/join-and-support</a></p> <p>V &amp; A museum membership</p> <p><a href="https://www.vam.ac.uk/info/join-support" target="_blank">https://www.vam.ac.uk/info/join-support</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Gina's best scissors</p> <p><a href="https://www.raggedlife.com/collections/shop/products/rag-rug-fabric-scissors" target="_blank">https://www.raggedlife.com/collections/shop/products/rag-rug-fabric-scissors</a></p> <p>Missenden School of Creative Arts</p> <p><a href="https://www.missendenschoolofcreativearts.co.uk/" target="_blank">https://www.missendenschoolofcreativearts.co.uk/</a></p> <p>Jackie Devereux</p> <p><a href="https://www.watercolour-online.co.uk/" target="_blank">https://www.watercolour-online.co.uk/</a></p> <p>Desk Vacuum Cleaner - top ten</p> <p><a href="https://uk.bestreviews.guide/mini-vacuum-cleaner-for-desk" target="_blank">https://uk.bestreviews.guide/mini-vacuum-cleaner-for-desk</a></p> <p>Double sided velcro</p> <p><a href="https://www.velcro.com/business/products/self-engaging-and-back-to-back/" target="_blank">https://www.velcro.com/business/products/self-engaging-and-back-to-back/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><strong>Pe
