Welcome!

Thistleworks Designs is solely owned and operated, Heather Johnsgaard. Pages will continue to be added as time permits and items or new topics are created.

When you visit some of the product pages, if I don't have anything listed for sale there, you might want to check out my in progress page to see if I am working on anything in that category.

My site offers a variety of pieces of my art and needleworks, along with a few other interesting tidbits of information.

A few quick things about me,

• I am an artist
• I am a writer
• I love whimsy and the whimisical
• I can get bored quickly and that's why I have so many interests and different things on the go at once
• I pride myself in the quality of my work and only sell pieces I am proud of
• What you might find for sale here:
  • children's heirloom clothing
  • home decor items - especially children's
  • hand embelished items - embroider, thread painting, applique, etc.
  • wall art, greeting cards, and more
  • mosaic work
  • bird houses
  • stepping stones
  • stained glass
  • some of my writings
  • items for sale which proceeds go towards wildlife rehabilitation efforts
  • ...and the list is endless...
• I've discovered that I have a lot to say...

For the best selection in items to buy, stop by often to see what I have to offer. Items are uploaded as they are made, and because my items are not mass produced, supply is limited. Items are sold on a first come first served basis. See my purchasing info page for more details.

If you come across any glitches with the web pages, I would welcome an e-mail. Thanks.
