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.

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 [...]

I see that Alasdair has promised a completed demonic papier mache sculpture…and it’s well worth waiting for. In the meantime I want to share our fantastic news of the week, which is that we had our very first sale at our Etsy shop this week…here it is all waiting to be sent out. It was [...]
