A familiar hand, just as you remember it.

Every loop, wobble and imperfect little mark is traced from the original, because those details are what make it theirs.

Every wobble stays.

The uneven letters and crossed-out little marks are often where the personality lives. I keep them, rather than tidying them away.

Questions, answered.

How do I order a handwriting keepsake?

Choose “Begin your keepsake” and upload a clear photograph of the handwriting, drawing or paw print. Pieces start at £35 and are stitched in black thread on natural cotton canvas.

Can I order a frame?

Framed keepsakes will be £45 and are coming soon. The £35 unframed cotton-canvas keepsake is available now.

Will you offer dog paw-print keepsakes?

Yes. Paw-print keepsakes are coming soon. They will preserve the unique shape and little smudges of the original print in black thread, with the option to include your dog’s name beneath it.

Where do you deliver?

I currently deliver to the UK, Isle of Man, Ireland, Europe, the USA and Canada. If your country isn’t listed, contact me and I’ll see what I can arrange.

Can you embroider a language besides English?

Yes. I work from the handwriting itself, so your note can be in any language. For unfamiliar scripts, I may ask for a typed transcription so I can check every character carefully.

Can you combine pieces of handwriting to create a new message?

Usually, yes. I can carefully bring together words from different notes to create one meaningful message. Tell me the wording you would like when you send your handwriting samples.

What kind of photograph do I need?

A clear phone photograph in good daylight is usually perfect. Lay the note flat, keep the whole piece of handwriting in shot and avoid heavy shadows or glare.

What if my photograph is not suitable?

Send what you have. If the handwriting is too faint or part of it is missing, I will let you know and help you find the best alternative before your order goes ahead.

Keep the words you can’t replace.

Start with the note, card or drawing you find yourself returning to. A clear phone photo is enough, and I will personally check it before stitching.
