We’ve been invaded by owls this weekend. I made another couple yesterday and young Miss MadeStuff is going to be making a larger owl after her lunch today (a picture of that will naturally follow construction). I think they look like they’re getting ready for some Christmas carols and the chap there on the left [...]

Some more sock monsters that I’ve made of late…very friendly monsters but not to be underestimated. All hand sewn brand new socks and stuffed with recycled polyester stuffing and a great big dollop of love.
Jolene’s been busy laying about with her feet up, well, in fairness she’s been resting her ankle following an operation to remove the steel work that was put in when she broke it a few years ago. She hasn’t been entirely idle though, she was commissioned at the Morningside Makers Market to customise a pair [...]
