Cats are important to many cultures but to the ancient Egyptians they were magical creatures, capable of bringing good luck to the people who housed them. To honor these treasured pets, wealthy families dressed them in jewels and fed them treats fit for royalty. When the cats died, they were mummified. You can purchase Medium, Large or Jumbo with designs you align to make the picture plus two individual black cat designs or a commercial option which gives you three commercial sizes of the picture.

Japan- The Land of the Rising Sun or more accurately where the Sun rises- austere and dignified- where very often what is not said or seen is just important as what is there. These designs work would well on the shoulder or back of shirts and even Jackets. They can add just enough color to brighten their surroundings.

Hygge goes far in illuminating the Danish soul. In essence, hygge means creating a warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people. The warm glow of candlelight is hygge. Cosying up with a loved one for a movie – that’s hygge, too. And there's nothing more hygge than sitting around with friends and family, discussing the big and small things in life. Perhaps hygge explains why the Danes are some of the happiest people in the world. And perhaps explains why HYGGE has exploded in popularity around the world.
Use these designs anywhere. To add a little Hygge to your projects stitch one of these designs in a corner, on the back, or the edge of a sleeve to add that good feeling. Or make a set of linens using any or all of them!

During the Edo period in Japan (1603-1868), the kokeshi dolls were considered to be guardians of children and the keepers of their souls. They were thought to keep children from harm as they grow up. Because they are believed to watch over children, I thought they would be perfect to decorate children's clothing, bedding, even to make toys of them! These come in 4 sizes from Tiny (a new size) to Large (see check sizes). A total of 48 designs in the complete set.
The cats are interesting. A cat with it's left paw raised is believed to bring luck in business, if it's right paw is raised it watches the home, if both paws are raised you double the good luck!!!

PLEASE NOTE: There are two versions of each geisha. One is with no fill in the faces or flowers. These are appropriate for white, cream and other pale colors. The second version has a white fill in the faces and flowers as shown in the design with the blue background. This version is great for denim oir other darker colored jackets.
Though Geishas are often thought of as demure they can also be portrayed with strength and purpose. The Geisha is an extremely well educated woman skilled in music and other arts and hospitality. They are not the concubines that often come to mind. The Kitsune - Fox Mask - can denote good or evil. In Japanese culture, Fox has contradictory behavior. It can be benevolent (good) or malevolent (evil) depending on the situation. Therefore the Geisha wearing this mask can control her future. The sword also portrays the geisha's control of her environment and portrays loyalty and strength.

Mehndi Designs, from India, are usually done all in shades of Henna. But the designs are so versatile, they are also pretty in beautiful colors! I saw a photo of a wedding dress from Bangladesh covered with Mehndi embroidery in beautiful colors. It inspired me to do this set. And you can stitch these in more traditional Mehndi colors of course.
