We had asked the worker elves to pull together some fencing solutions to prevent any more of them escaping from the work camp, so you can imagine our horror when we arrived to check on their progress only to discover that they were lounging about on pieces of miniature furniture that they’d put together instead! […]
As much as we give the worker elves a raw deal here on the blog they are actually a really helpful bunch of of semi-mythical beings, not only do they do all our product development, production, workshop maintenance, and act as general dog’s bodies for the high heid yins* but we’ve also roped them in […]
Our darling little worker elves have been feverishly washing their elvish under-crackers and hanging them on the miniature washing lines which, I hasten to add, is against workshop rules and the culprits have been taken out and severely punished; they have to realise that the miniature washing lines aren’t for them, they’re for the fairy […]
I was struck by a strange sight today as I was walking past the elf workshop, they had adorned the place with loads of miniature bunting! I took the opportunity afforded by a brief hiatus in elvish activity (we let them have lunch) to stick my head in and see what the devilry was going on […]
The MadeStuff worker elves have been awfy excited this past week with all the fairy going on here and about, they’re especially excited about the fairy garden they’ve created . . . we haven’t the heart to tell them that it’s less ‘garden’ than it is ‘tree’ since they’ve worked so hard on making their […]
Our MadeStuff worker elves are always on the look out for new ideas, so when they happened upon a rather sorry looking fairy garden whilst on their travails they were struck with an idea and promptly scuttled back to their cave, um, “workshop” to inform their overlords, um “beloved leaders” of what they had discovered! […]
I think I mentioned it once before that we were being over-run by sock creatures of all shapes and sizes and now I think I’ve figured out why! It’s surely got something to do with this bunny rabbit sock cr-cr-critter. MadeStuff HQ is largely surrounded by the more traditional rabbit variety and, being honest, we’re not […]
Sock creatures abound in the MadeStuff workshop at the moment; specifically there’s a wee cheeky monkey hanging about with its, frankly, peculiar friend. The friend being somewhat of an indescribable fellow attired entirely from head-to-toe in purple stripes … very odd. Still, it appears to be a pair of sock creatures who will be friends […]
We’ve always had a thing about matroyshka dolls here at MadeStuff, in fact for so long as I can remember we’ve had something in stock that is at least inspired by the look of matroyshka dolls. It’s perhaps not surprising then that when we happened across a swatch of fabric emblazoned with matroyshka dolls that […]
A couple of recent updates to the site, an exciting shop one and a dull as dishwater but essential one. The first is the exciting news that we’ve add a “sale” section to our shop where you can pick up a variety of bargains, everything in there is currently 50% cheaper than you’d normally expect […]
