My name is Carina and I am a Dane living in Essex, England. I am an embroidery designer, author and teacher.

I spend as much time as I can designing embroidery patterns and making things: crocheting, drawing, sewing, painting + more. On my blog you will find lots of colour, plenty of stitching, crochet and the occasional tutorial.

My blog

My shop: Polka & Bloom. Unique, colourful embroidery patterns and other happy things!

On Instagram I'm carinacraftblog

I share embroidery and sewing on YouTube.

If you add me as a contact but all your pictures are of things you sell, I will not add you as a contact. Sorry, but life is just too short. Plus, it's against the Flickr www.flickr.com/guidelines.gne

Also, if you add me as a contact, but have no pictures available for me to look at and you add a whole load of my pictures to your favourites I won't add you as a contact, and I will also have to block you. Sorry, but if you don't want to share, why should I?
