We got creative over the weekend and made our very own edible tree decorations. Flavoured with all things Christmas and made even prettier with white icing, our heart shaped biscuits are centre stage on the tree. Very easy to make and even better to eat! Why not have a go yourselves and send us some pictures

We’re so very excited!

Our very popular knitted cushions have been featured in the January edition of Ideal Home magazine. The ‘All is Calm’ issue reminds us to make the most of the downtime this Christmas, along with great ideas to escape the seasonal madness to a peaceful retreat of neutrals, soft textiles and a hint of shimmer (well…you have to have some sparkle at Christmas!).

The lovely editors at Ideal Home couldn’t resist our charcoal grey 16” hand knitted cushion. Flick to page 9 to see it in all it’s glory or visit their website to find out where you can get a copy.

We’re feeling the festive spirit here at the studio and talk has turned to present ideas for friends and family. Have you started your festive shopping yet? Get inspired with our gift ideas…

We have been busy today creating and trialling a few new products, one being this knitted cosy heat bag. It’s a modern take on the trusted hot water bottle, but instead of boiling the kettle, you can pop an inner bag into the microwave to heat for a few minutes. Perfect for keeping you nice and toasty!

For our first design we chose a nautical inspired blue and cream stripe. But we’ve many more up our sleeves.

What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

We can now officially say that Christmas is next month…yikes! Do not fear, we are here to help you through the festive madness with some great gift ideas albeit whilst eating lots of mince pies. So to kick off the season we are jumping straight in with a selection of beautiful red products – from cushions to tea cosies – you won’t want to put them under the tree!
