5 out of 5 starsThis artist is 2nd to none. I continue to be blown away with the product I purchase. Every single stitch is perfect and put in with love. Candy cares about each and every piece tremendously. She consults with the buyer to assure it is done to the closest possible style and expectation of the customer. As a side note, she is one of those people in life, who makes you feel good about yourself and your life. A true angel.

5 out of 5 starsThese monkeys are absolutely adorable and perfect for what I needed! Candy went above and beyond what I could have expected in making sure I was absolutely happy with the monkeys, and she even rushed my order to make sure I got them on time. I would definitely order from her again... a very talented and very sweet artist!

5 out of 5 starsCandy is simply wonderful. She has brought me so many smiles as I walk by her work hanging in my home. I am a forever customer of Candykins! She writes the sweetest notes to you when you receive your order, which my daughter can't wait to read (nor can I). The handmade piece arrives on time with our newest memory made into a masterpiece! Candy has become "part of the family".

Soaking up the sunshine in my studio.
Cute and quirky hand embroidered delights!
I grew up with a mother and grandmother who loved to create, and who passed on some of their skills, knowledge, and their "mend and make do" attitude to me. As a teenager, in a large family rather short on funds, I fell in love with op-shopping (thrift shopping) and upcycling as a way of expressing my individuality. My first major experimentation with embroidery as a way of expressing myself was on a pair of thrifted red vintage capri pants. These are now hanging on my studio wall (see if you can spot them in the photo above!)
I am drawn to the quirky, the kawaii, and the kitsch. I design and create embroidered wool felt brooches and gadget cases, embroidery hoop art, and miniature embroidered jewellery.
My hoop art specialty is the kids artwork embroidery, where I transfer your child's artwork into hand embroidered wall art.

Shop policies
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
Payment
If you have requested a custom order, I will send you a message through conversations as soon as the listing is online. Please note that payment is required before I can ship the item.
If you have requested a reserved listing, I will send you a message as soon as the reserved listing is online. Please make the purchase within 3 days of listing, or I will re-list the item.
Please note, all my prices are listed and quoted in AU$.
Shipping
I charge exact shipping on all my items. Please note, I am not charging for the packaging or for handling, just purely for the cost of postage. Australia Post has flat rates for different countries, up to a certain limit (for example, up to 50g for a letter sized parcel, like for my brooches, or up to 250g for a parcel, like for my hoop art), so please note that the price of $0 for 'with additional item' is limited to items that meet that weight bracket requirement. As my items are generally small and/or light, they should generally meet this requirement if you are buying a few. However, if they do not (for example, if you are buying a large quantity), I will contact you and let you know before proceeding, as postage costs almost double with the next weight bracket.
If postage turns out to be less than you paid, I will refund the difference via Paypal, if the difference is more than AU$0.50
International customers please note that unfortunately, I cannot cover the costs of any customs fees charged in your country. These are therefore your own responsibility. Thank you for understanding!
Additional policies and FAQs
If you see anything on my blog {www.candykins-crafts.blogspot.com} that would like to order as a custom order, please feel free to contact me about it. I will let you know whether or not I can do it, and an expected timeframe and quote.
Thanks again :)
