A Heart Handmade Blog Holiday Featurette

Hope you enjoy my critters as much as I enjoyed making them!

I love the slight imperfection that comes with handmade goods. They feel much more alive than machine-generated massproducts and I like to think that the intention of thought, attention to detail and most of all love that goes into handmade creations will also resonate with the new owner.

My little monkey in the making! When i fell pregnant with my son I found myself in full blown nesting mode!



What is your source of inspiration?

Anything in daily life really...from rummaging through childhood memories to cute japanese writing paper I receive in the post!



What have you made recently?

One of my latest critters is Mr Archibald Fawkes a glum but gentle bunny plush, who at times wishes he was a bear!

He has been crocheted from beige acrylic yarn and is accessorized with a bear hat and scarf made from brown organic yarn. He was a lot of fun to make.





Where do you sell your crafts presently?

Online in my etsy-shop



Why are handmade crafts important to you?

It's so much more personal and has a certain magic to it - I also love the imperfection of handmade goods.
