A little late-winter magic, made by hand.
A table set for making, mending, sharing and lingering.
These little Snowdrop Fairies are made slowly and by hand, one at a time, in the quiet of winter.
Each fairy begins as a simple shape, carefully formed and wrapped, before being dressed in layers of soft tulle and crepe paper petals, three outer petals, just like the first snowdrops that appear when winter loosens its grip. Tiny sap-green wings sit at her back, and her bonnet is shaped and adjusted until it feels just right.
Her face is hand-painted with the lightest of touches, so no two expressions are ever quite the same. Hair is made from felt roving and styled gently, giving each fairy her own character and softness.
You can choose the hair colour and skin tone that feel right to you, and I will make your fairy especially to order. Because each one is handmade, small variations are part of her charm, a reminder that she has been shaped by real hands, not a mould.
She is designed as a hanging ornament, perfect for seasonal branches, a hook by a window, or tucked somewhere special to bring a little winter calm indoors. Each fairy arrives carefully boxed, ready to be given as a gift or kept safely until her moment to appear.
Made with care, patience, and a love of small details, a quiet celebration of snowdrops, handmade things, and the gentle magic of winter.
Snowdrop Mouse Crafting Kit
Hand-stitched · Slow Making · Woodland Inspired
In the quiet days of late winter, when snowdrops stitch the woodland floor with white, this little mouse appears, gentle, hopeful, and waiting to be made.
This Snowdrop Mouse Crafting Kit has been thoughtfully designed for makers who love slow, careful work and the pleasure of creating something truly special by hand. Each element is chosen for its softness, quality, and tactile joy, resulting in a keepsake ornament to treasure for years to come.
The finished mouse wears a delicate tulle skirt and carries a crepe paper snowdrop, a small symbol of patience and promise, and is intended as a decorative ornament rather than a toy.

The Snowdrop Mouse Workshop
Come and spend a peaceful day hand-stitching a tiny mouse, dressed in a floaty tulle dress and a knitted shawl, and holding a delicate paper snowdrop.
We’ll work slowly and thoughtfully, shaping each small detail by hand and enjoying the pleasure of making without rush.
Full tuition is included, and no previous sewing experience is needed — just a willingness to try and a love of small, careful things.
Lunch, drinks, and cake will be provided, so you can settle in, stitch, and be well looked after as the day unfolds.
You’ll leave with your own finished mouse, and the quiet satisfaction that comes from having made something gentle and beautiful.
