The Make Happy Club box #25 (warning contains spoilers)

I've been working hard designing and doing lots of stitching over this past month! And I am excited to be able to finally reveal to you what this months project is!

For the May box I have been inspired by nature and our wonderful planet that we all live on but also wanted to create a very happy smile inducing design!

So for this months design I have included lots of beautiful foliage, and an adorable giraffe! Utilising the whole of the hoop so it appears as if this little giraffe is just passing us by and we are merely observers!

Cross stitch if you haven't done it before is a fantastic needlepoint craft to begin with. Once you have learnt the stitch needed following our photo instructions and video tutorial, then it is simply a case of following the pattern and watching the design come to life on your fabric.

This kit only uses whole cross stitches too which keeps it nice and simple to introduce you gently to cross stitching. And it comes with everything that you need to complete your design!

Once stitched this design will look perfect as a little accent of colour on a shelf next to a houseplant or hung up in your living room or in a nursery (that’s where mine is hung up!).

Subscriptions will open on the 1st of May 2023 and will then close on the 20th of May 2023 with the first box being sent out end of May ready for June! Every month £3 from each box will be donated to a different charity and this month for any subscription sign ups in May we will be donating £3 for each Make Happy Club box sold to Friends of the Earth UK via the work for good platform.

Friends of the Earth UK are part of an international community dedicated to protecting the natural world and the wellbeing of everyone in it. They lead campaigns, provide resources and information, and drive real solutions to the environmental problems facing us all.

So if you choose to subscribe this month then you will be actively helping them to continue to care for our wonderful planet! Whilst also stitching something that will make you feel good too!
