OMG, it’s ACTUALLY happening… we are moving house!!! πŸ™€

It’s the weirdest thing to walk around our home and hear my voice echo because of the empty rooms. We’ve been in this house for 15 years so it’s been a BIG part of the Funky Friends story.

Many of the early Funky Friends soft toy patterns were designed in my tiny sewing room which was in one of our smallest rooms…

which I soon outgrew!

So we converted our garage into an amazing studio for me…

LOOK how pleased I was with my renovating skills!!!!

The garden has been awesome for photographing my toys too!

Even the chickens enjoyed the photo shoots!

The wildlife here has been a huge inspiration for the Funky Friends soft toy patterns too…

REAL cockatoo

 

Charlie Cockatoo was based on this cheeky cockatoo that used to squawk outside my sewing room window for me to put out some bird seed for him!

I’ll be sad to leave this behind for sure!!!

BUT I wonder what new inspiration our move will bring?
