This time last year… August 2025

August was a big one — in ways I couldn’t have predicted.

After a very long wait, I was officially diagnosed with ADHD, and I also started going to therapy. Both have been genuinely life-changing. They’ve helped me understand myself better, soften the inner critic, and give myself the compassion I so freely offer to everyone else (still practising, but getting there).

And alongside all of that… we launched our very first Self Care Journal.

Something I’d wanted to do for AGES. One of those ideas that lived in my head and my heart for so long, quietly waiting for the right moment. Seeing it finally out in the world felt equal parts vulnerable, exciting, and deeply affirming.

A month of clarity, courage, and big gentle steps forward — both personally and creatively.

This month we're stitching something a little bit special... The Thistle.

Whether you're joining us in person or stitching from home, you'll be able to create this beautiful new design with us.

📍 Coming up at Thread Journal Club
We'll be working on the Thistle design together at our next class at The Station House, Cheadle Hulme.

💻 Monthly members
The full step-by-step video tutorial will also be added to the members' library, which now includes over 70 hours of creative classes and tutorials to enjoy whenever it suits you.

🪡 Fancy stitching at your own pace?
Our Stick & Stitch transfers and Thistle kits will also be available on the website, so you can recreate the design from the comfort of home.

👉 Purchase it here: https://www.evanssent.com/event-details/thistle-thread-thread-journal-club

We can't wait to see all of your finished Thistles! 🌿

A quick reminder that applications for our Steering Group close today! We're looking for people to help us shape The Glimmer Project from the very beginning. ✨

To apply, simply email [email protected] and let us know:

- How many of the sessions you're likely to be able to attend
- Why you'd like to be part of the Community Steering Group

So far we’ve had LOADS of people show their interest, which is amazing to see, and we really wish we could work with everyone!

As part of our Community Steering Group, you'll help us develop ideas, trial activities, shape workshops and influence the final exhibition. It's an opportunity to have your voice heard and help create something that truly reflects our community.

We'll be meeting in a range of venues across the project so that members can experience the different spaces we'll be using:

📍 Costa Coffee, Bredbury 📅 2CheadleHulme

We're hoping members will be able to attend a selection of the meetings, although we completely understand that life happens and not everyone will be able to make every session. Whether you can attend 1 or 6, we’d love to have you with us.

The project is funded by the UK Government and travel expenses are available for anyone who needs support to attend.
