I think I found you for one tiny pair of Cohana scissors. At first I bought the cool Japanese office supplies. Then I dawdled in embroidery, which led to Sashiko! I loved the IG live about Sashiko stitching. I can’t spend less than an hour when I visit Snuggly Monkey, it’s dreamy. It’s been a great relief during these dark times. And when packages arrive everything is wrapped up like a present. Thank you Claudia, you are a bright light.

So helpful!
I took an introductory class a few years ago but didn’t feel I knew enough to work on my own – your videos are inspiring!
One of your samplers helped me through the pandemic month of May! Whenever I felt overwhelmed, I would simply retreat to the front porch with my green tea, audiobook, and sampler. I would love to stitch more 🧵💗
