So I wasn't going to list the guinea pig mugs, but I had the original sample at home so I could take photos! I have now listed a limited quantity to the shop for this weekend :)
If you have already placed an order and want a mug, just let me know and I can combine your orders and refund shipping <3
2024-01-05 15:57:45 +0000 UTC View PostEdit: I don't know how to spell Focaccia which is why the code didn't work before if you tried 🥲 Sorry everyone! I've updated the discount code to now be HowToSpell. If you already ordered, send me a message with your order number and I will apply the discount for you automatically!
Don't forget to use your discount cod...

I've just re-opened my shop and added the new tea towels and tote bags.
The guinea pig mugs haven't been listed yet because I didn't have time to take product photos of them. There is a possibility I may list a small number of them later this weekend if I get time, but I'm a bit strapped for time at the moment while I try to wrap everythin...
2024-01-05 14:02:11 +0000 UTC View PostI'm preparing new stickers for the coming year and need your help with a quick poll!
What type of material do you like for sticker sheets?
Every year, I have people ask me if I have anything with dogs and until now I only ever drew corgis and pugs. But this month, I finally have a dedicated sticker sheet with dogs!
This month's happy mail will include a sticker sheet and matching postcard.
I am going on holiday half way through January, so many of the benefits will be p...
2024-01-01 14:59:14 +0000 UTC View PostThere's so much to catch up on - from Christmas markets, being a potato, new year's resolutions and more. Grab a cuppa and let's chat about how 2023 has been and what's been on my mind for 2024.
I hope you have a fun, safe and wonderful new years!

Hi! I just wanted to let you know that this month's Patreon rewards are now on the way :) Hopefully by sending them after Christmas, it will avoid most postal delays and will get to you quicker.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone and a happy new year!

Here's a little project to enjoy this weekend if you want to decorate for the holidays while also getting crafty!
This time I went for making a kitty with a hat :D The hat loosely sits on top of the kitty box when it's done cause I couldn't figure out the best/easiest way to attach it without making it too complicated. In the end I used so...

Yesterday, after months of waiting, the guinea pig mugs finally arrived! I've been anxiously waiting for these to come, sweating over all the delays, and now I can officially say everything is here. (The tea towels and tote bags also finally came a couple weeks ago too!)

It's not even Christmas yet, but I'm already thinking about what I'm going to do for spring! With all the delays I experienced this season, I'm trying to start on things as early as possible. And I already feel late when it comes to ma...

December really sneaked up on me! But here we are in the most festive month of the year.
Since rewards can usually show up a bit late when sending mail in December because of all the postal delays, I thought I'd do something more "new years" themed and have made the Dapper Ducks into a little transparent sticker sheet!
This month wil...

A catch up of the last month, which has been the busiest month of my life :')
I'm tired and burned out, but overall I'm happy and I'm enjoying being at the Christmas market. OH and it snowed yesterday!

Continuing the theme of cute little loaf kitties, I've made these little recipe cards!
I haven't really gotten into bread making, but I've been seeing a lot of breads for making Foccacia because apparently it's really easy. Once I find some time, I'm definitely going to try it. Anyone got good recipes they'd like to share?

Seriously, it's perfectly potato shaped haha 😆 The body is probably about as big as the head and the matching tea cup is so well made. 10/10 cuteness!
I think the campaign officially launches on Thursday already? And the way it wo...

A very late Patreon podcast, but I hope you'll enjoy this update from the past month! Apologies ahead of time for being a little tired and if the audio seems a little more scattered than usual.

There are a few changes and updates coming, so this is a heads up so you can plan your Patreon sub for November.
1. Everyone, including non-Patrons, will get to enjoy 15% off for the whole month of November! This means that there will not be a Patreon discount code since you’ll automatically be getting a better discount ...

October's digital download is something I've never done before - a little paper craft box! It took a bit of trial and error, but it turned out so much cuter than I thought it would.
Hopefully the instructions make sense - I did my best to explain how to assemble it 😅
The fun thing about this is that you can customize it with your ...

I just got back from our trip to Scotland (we went for a wedding) and we visited the Glasgow Botanical garden! It was absolutely lovely and we really lucked out with the weather.
It was a nice little reminder of how much I love botanical gardens and plants, even before my plant collecting craze this summer. I re-discovered this old sketchb...

Do you remember the tea towels and bags I ordered back in the summer? Yeah me too :*)
I've been waiting for them for months now, but I'm really sad to say that they are currently missing and I'm not sure if/when they will arrive.
I've been told that they are currently being held at customs, but it's been over 2 months without any off...

Hi everyone, I'm a little late but this is what will be coming for October's happy mail set ^^ I know many of you have joined for early access in the last restock, but maybe you'd like to stick around for October too.
If you're wondering what's happening, here are a few things planned:
