The document discusses the author's approach to purchases and consumption over time. When earning more, the author bought selectively and found new owners for unused items. Now with a smaller budget, the author has less choice but can live with less. Any purchases are well considered for environmental impact and lasting beauty. These sentiments have remained as the author plans to produce a limited textile art collection under the label NICKNICKI.

First steps with digital embroidery
1. When I was earning good money I could buy what I wanted but I was always careful with my purchases. If I no longer wanted them then they found a new owner and were not thrown away. Now ,that I have a tiny budget, I have less choice but I find that I can live with less too ! When I buy, I want to purchase something well considered, respectful to the environment and have lasting beauty. These sentiments have always remained with me and I hope in going forward to produce a limited collection of textile art pieces under the label NICKNICKI
