Scissor homage!

One of the most important pieces of kit when working with fabric, is a sharp pair of scissors. I love my Fiskars scissors, which probably makes me a bit sad, but without them, I can't make anything!

Bokashi composter review in Wiggly Wigglers 2008 catalogue

Wiggly Wigglers new catalogue was launched on 14th March 2008.
It was built using contributions from customers and friends from around the world using social media. The new catalogue is presented in a scrap book style, packed full of clippings, quotes, family snaps as well as professional photography and product descriptions. It is a radical format for a mail order company and it looks more like a book than a conventional catalogue.

You can find my Bokashi composter review on page 19 of the catalogue.
