8 December - A Brew and a Blether/Live Demonstration
The next Brew and a Blether, held in the Quernoholics Anonymous group on Facebook, will take place at 8pm GMT on Tuesday 8 December. This is a chance for me to catch up with you, and answer any questions you may have. I also do live demonstrations, so I hope you'll pop along and join me!
CHARITY POPPY EVENT & RAFFLE
As a result of the Charity Poppy Shop Event and subsequent Charity Raffle, you have helped raise the sum of £849.25 for both the Royal British Legion and Blue Cross for Pets! Thanks so much to everyone who took part - you've made a big difference.
And this brings the total of all charitable donations I've made since 2014 to £10,120.22! Thank you!
How to Make a Wee Ghostie
In the Brew and a Blether on 13 October, I gave a live "make along" demonstration on how to make a Wee Ghostie in the Quernoholics Anonymouse group.
If you're a member of the group, you can watch the video here, and you can find out what materials and tools you'll need here.
Everything you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask...
I have just updated my FAQ page! I've been keeping this page for several years, based on questions I often get asked. There's lots of information in there, if you haven't come across it before.
And if you have a question that isn't answered there, do drop me a line and I'll add it to the list.
New collaboration launched
I'm delighted to announce the launch of a wonderful collaboration with Tara Slater of The Lesser Spotted Kiwi! Tara has created this beautiful illustration which captures everything that Quernus means to me :) We have created a special edition collectors' set (pictured) which includes a signed edition of the print, a Chick Magnet made by me, and a beautiful little wooden bunting stand made by Tara. A3 and A4 prints and greetings cards are also available.
I started the Happy Wee Creatures initiative during these "interesting times" to remind people that they are loved, appreciated and not alone. I will continue to send out Happy Wee Creatures to your special people for the foreseeable future - it's my way of giving something back and helping to make the world a happier place.
You can find out more about this initiative here, or drop me a line.
There was a time, not so very long along, when the cupboards were always bare in the Quernus shop. But since I started the Mini Shop Events, there are usually one or two wee creatures still available to adopt! So keep checking in to my online shop and see if there's a wee creature waiting just for you :)
Last summer, I was commissioned by DK Publishing to make five unicorns to be photographed for a children's pop-up book. After several months of keeping quiet, the book has now been published, and I love how they have captured each of the wee unicorns! You can buy the book on Amazon UK and Amazon.com.
