Team HRT! A Menopause Embroidery Pattern

I absolutely love it when people suggest possible variations for projects, or themes they'd love to see. Sometimes those ideas get tucked away for a rainy day and other times I simply have to sit down and work on them straight away.

Chatting about mental health last week and the magic of Taking Your Meds, a friend suggested that I design a Team HRT pattern for the many ladies battling their way through the menopause and its many difficult symptoms. 

So when I added a Team Citalopram pattern this week, I had to design an HRT one too!


 

Just like mental health issues, the menopause is something it benefits us all to talk about more - to normalise it, to make sure people can get the support they need, and to help everyone feel less alone when dealing with all the ups and downs.

I think this would be a fun design to stitch for a friend as a gift, or together in a group while you swap stories! 

The Team HRT pattern is now available as part of my Patreon pattern library.

Team Citalopram! A Mental Health Embroidery Pattern

When I shared my "Team Sertraline!" embroidery pattern last week I was blown away by the wonderful response from everyone. 

There are clearly a lot of us in the SSRI boat right now and I'm glad to be a tiny part of making sure mental health issues get destigmatised and talked about more often (especially if that helps even one person reach out to a friend or their doctor if they're struggling!) 

Several people commented to say they were in fact on "Team Citalopram", so obviously I had to update the design to to include the Citalopram gang :)

Team Sertraline! A Mental Health Embroidery Pattern

After designing a "Take Your Meds" pattern for my Patreon, I couldn't resist drawing this one... celebrating the magic of Sertraline, which has done WONDERS for my mental health and general well being in recent years.

 

I guess this is a bit of a niche design, but if you suffer from anxiety and/or depression and are on Team Sertraline I hope you'll enjoy stitching this xxx

Take Your Meds Embroidery Pattern

The latest embroidery pattern available on my Patreon is inspired by Self Care and the importance of remembering to do all the little things to look after yourself... like taking your medication!

 

I take tablets for my mental health (perhaps you do, too?), but this design totally works for anyone dealing with any ongoing or chronic health condition. 

As well as stitching this design (which fits neatly into a 5 inch embroidery hoop) you could use it as a colouring page - maybe even have a little colouring session with your pals? 

Take your meds. Take care of yourself xxx
