It seems that pocket pillows are becoming a favourite of mine. So called because they are pocket sized rather than them having a pocket, although occasionally they have a pocket too. They’re just the right size for little hands and are perfect even for pin cushions for those with grown up sized hands. The two I’ve been [...]
Over the past few weeks I have been busy with a couple of commissions and finalising a new idea for Christmas tree decorations. I’m reserving the commissions for a post of their own because they took me so long that they deserve a gold plaque, never mind their own post! I know it seems too [...]
