All I have to do now is edit all the photos and load them into the shop, currently being revamped by a tech guy as we speak. It's being de-greenified!

As for the clouds, well I have six or seven of these floofy cloud-like batts to load into the shop tomorrow too. They are merino with touches of tussah silk and angelina.

And don't forget the snails of superwash BlueFaced Leicester tops

I feel a late night coming on...

Think I need me some kitty love:
