A hand-stitched needlepoint cushion reading When Life Gives You Lemons, Add Vodka, with a lemon design and green velvet reverse.

The joke is the medium

Needlepoint is the craft of embroidered proverbs — patient, wholesome, framed in hallways. Taking the most earnest proverb of them all and adding vodka to it, in that same technique, is a better joke than printing it.

Details

• Hand-stitched needlepoint front
• Green velvet reverse — fully reversible
• 45cm x 45cm square
• Inner hollowfibre cushion included

Where it works

Kitchens, bar areas and drinks corners. The lemon-and-green palette also means it works alongside the Amalfi Lemon cushion, if you want one earnest and one not.

Care

Spot clean the needlepoint face. Do not machine wash. Given where this one tends to live, worth keeping it off the bar itself.
