Peg People on Pause

I opened my Etsy shop in March 2010 and made hundreds of teeny peg people on my kitchen table in Scotland for people all over the world! I closed up (temporarily) in March 2013 – initially for my wedding and honeymoon, but then for planning our move to Canada – not an easy task :)

Now that we’re here and pretty settled (fingers crossed), I should be starting up the peg people again. But when you’ve moved from Aberdeen to Vancouver and suddenly have actual summers to enjoy and, even when it’s raining, you have a puppy to go exploring with, it’s not easy!

Once the lovely weather dies down, I will get painting again. I now have a gorgeous craft room to work in and I’ve already had a few people asking for John Hurt and Peter Capaldi peg dolls to complete their Doctor Who regenerations set :)


In the meantime, I’ve been doing lots of cross stitching. I finished off an ancient kit that had been in a drawer for ages, but when I looked for my next project, nothing really grabbed me. So I started designing my own!
