Tuesday 29 August 2023: Melissa Galbraith of MCreativeJ talks about how she went back to embroidery and as at last year, this is now her full time job. You’ll hear how Melissa decided to make this shift in her life and career.

Melissa tells us how she values the use of therapy to manage the adjustment from being an employee to being a small business owner.

At the Making Zen Online Retreat on 25 to 29 September, Melissa’s workshop is called ‘Upcycle Your Clothing with Embroidered Flower Pockets.’

This workshop will give you a taste of what Melissa’s workshops are all about, while upcycling your own clothes.

Have a closer look at Melissa’s website mcreativej.com to see how she is now living her embroidery joy and sharing this with many people who need that craft that gives them satisfaction.
