All of the action in our home occurs between our kitchen and living/family room, so I love that the kitchen opens right up to it. The large island is the perfect middle ground for every type of activity.

I have been designing and making bears and other animals for many years and have a lovely studio where they are all made, in Paisley. I live in Kilbarchan a small village in the west of Scotland with husband and noisy cat. Over the years, I have written books, designed kits, travelled to Japan and US with my work. My animals can be seen in some top retailers but I mostly prefer to sell direct to collectors.

I find the colorful chaos of my space stimulates my inspiration, as long as it stays a bit organized! Often, all it takes is a little rummaging through yarn bins, lining up balls of yarn across the floor, and grabbing my hook to really get me busy creating. My least favorite part of my space is actually my computer--because the work I do there is my least favorite--pattern writing, tech editing and answering email. To help with this--I add lots of colorful bits and bobs around, like a crocheted mouse pad to make it feel less like drudgery and more like creative play.
