'harry-potter-inspired-mother-dragon-hovering-protectively-over-her-dragon-eggs' baby felt mobile

i can finally reveal my favourite bespoke project of the year! the customer wanted a harry potter inspired mobile for a baby girl, so i came up with this plush dragon design. isnt she cute? i must say it was hard parting with her! the mobile is made in red and yellow felt, and is hanging in a ribbon clad frame. and i embroidered the baby's initials onto the stomach for a personal touch!

if you want a bespoke mobile too, then please email kittiwakedesign[at]gmail.com

mushroom season

it is mushroom season in sligo and while out hunting for some hydnum rufescens that the boyfriend had spotted earlier in the week, we stumbled upon these lovelies! (top right)

they are called cantharellus tubaeformis and are really delicious fried in butter with a bit of salt and pepper... mmm...



we found about a kilo and a half of them and have the freezer nicely stocked up for winter!

while on the subject of mushrooms, check out the mushroom mobile in the shop! just click on the picture and it will bring you there.



happy mushroom season everyone!
