About Me
My name is Henry Crofts and I own pålegg Designs.
Pålegg is the Norwegian word for anything that goes on bread. Just like the proverbial "cherry on top" and "icing on the cake", pålegg makes bread just that little bit more special. This is what I want to achieve with the art I make - little bits that make life just that little bit sweeter.
My embroidery journey started quite young with cross stitch kits, but didn't last very long. I didn't pick up a needle again until my teen years when I decided to personalise my school bag with thread, in crude stitches somewhat resembling embroidery. When the COVID-19 lockdown hit, I needed to find something to do with my hands that wasn't endless doom scrolling, and so the real hyper fixation with embroidery was born.
