It's been a while...

Hello, and happy new year to our friends (yes, this message has been a while coming).

The year has started off a little manic, but then, we should be used to that by now. Both of us are expecting our second-borns, magically (again) at around the same time, and not too far away. It's exciting and scary. We are both furiously sewing, weaving and creating before we have to put the needles away in turn for the newborn bubs.

Kerrie has been inventing new wild and wonderful things to complement our range, including framed animal heads (beautifully fake, of course) in the same vein as the framed bug specimens. Her Ned Kelly creations have been well-received, and we are thrilled that people are embracing products that represent our country's history.

Anne is still working away at her new Earth Mumma dolls, inspired by the women in her life who support and protect her. When you become a mother, your appreciation for anything organic and earthly is heightened, and you are amazed and strengthened by the women in your life who support one another, no questions asked.

With our first babes growing at a rapid rate, we delight in seeing their interests change and develop. And as they do, they alert us to new things, many of which hold some spark of an idea, or creative inspiration. We're not only designing for newborns anymore, we have a new range of interests to work with. We look forward to seeing it develop... who knows which way our pencil will turn.

The Little Soursob catalogue is about to do the rounds of Melbourne stores, and hopefully (fingers and stitches crossed) you will soon be able to buy a Little Soursob gift by just walking down the street to your local boutique, craft shop or shopping strip.

For everyone's support, guidance and feedback, we are grateful, and encourage it to continue!

With love,

Anne and Kerrie.
