We have badges! Still have stickers to do and then we’re all set for #cheltenhamfestival on Sunday. If you’re in the area come along, we’ll be reading books, singing songs, making rain makers and drawing too! And to make the event extra special we have the wonderful pianist and singer @saracolmanmusic As you can imagine, we’re just a tad excited!

So excited here at the House of Hopgood ... only one month to go before the publication of the Moomin Crafts book Wanda has contributed to, published by Macmillan. The book features Moomin inspired crafts, starting with these cute upcycled wool felt slippers, from Tove Jansson’s gorgeous and iconic illustrations. There’s a hot water bottle cover, a draught excluder and a pot stand - amongst other fun projects. A big thank you to Emily Ford at Macmillan to making it happen #tovejansson #moomin #moomincrafts #macmillanpublishers #crafts #handsewing #houseofhopgood #skill #upcycle #felt wool #sewing #applique #colour #color

Only one month to go until publication date ... !
