Election Smellection

Hello - lots has happened. But I don't want to title every post with "Update" so I went for something topical. With opinion pouring out of the internet (and my mouth), I don't think I need to add anything misguided here. yet.

So I met lots of wonderful crafters and artists two weeks ago at Stour Space. Nice little market with good people (Hello) - I recommend you check it out, it falls on the last saturday of every month and it's in Hackney. I can't make May, but I will be there in June and July when I can get there more easily by train.

Have some new products to coo over!
Green and White Checked Slippers

(Awesome) Socks not included. I've been working on a nice new felted design for slippers. I've got about 5 test piece i've been strutting around the house in and working on the style, fit, etc. Don't worry, the test pieces won't be for sale - but I'm progressing towards an option for a totally bespoke slipper to fit your feet exactly.

  • In other news:
  • If I met anyone at Stour Space and I wasn't smiling, it was due to some hectic tooth pain going on. My dentist (props Dr Ahmed) removed the offending wisdom tooth and did a very good job too. Vive la NHS.
  • A friend of mine pointed out that it is more productive to get involved in our communities instead of trying to elect a colour which would change the nation. I thank him for his advice, and would like to highlight this website. If you feel a bit depressed about the election, and, like me, feel a little bit like you hate everyone sometimes, I think this helps build a little positivity. 
  • I'm going to Paris this weekend! So look forward to a parisian blog on Tuesday.
