28 October - Quernus Shop Event
I'll be holding a Shop Event on Thursday 28 October at 8pm BST. There will be quite a few Sugar Mice taking part in this event, along with some millefiori creatures that I made using the cane I made in the last Brew and a Blether (which you can watch here). Until I put them all in my shop, I've tagged all the creatures taking part on my Flickr page.

A chance for me, Kirsten, to catch up with you, and connect in these interesting times! And sometimes I give a live demonstration of making a wee creature
All live chats are also available on my YouTube channel.
From January 2021, I've been putting all my live video chats and short stop-motion films on YouTube, as well as Facebook. There are just over 20 videos uploaded now, so I thought it was about time that I let you all know about it!

The Squeak Show Calendar & Collectors' Club
My biggest project to date! This year, I'll be working on a calendar for 2022 with 12 detailed scenes showing the wee creatures in various settings which will be professionally photographed. Throughout the year I will also be running a Collectors' Club where people can collect 12 individual wee creatures inspired by each scene.

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.
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.
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.
In 2018, I was commissioned by DK Publishing to make five unicorns to be photographed for a children's pop-up book. The book was published in 2019, and I love how they have captured each of the wee unicorns! What really tickles me is when peope post pictures of the book which they've seen when out and about ;) You can buy the book on Amazon UK and Amazon.com. For more photos, click here.
