Author’s Blog

You’ll mostly find my newsletters here, gathered in one place.

This website is mostly about Yens and Spinny and the quiet stories of their world. The newsletter is where I also share notes from my studio and glimpses of everyday life, with a little news from Yens and Spinny’s corner still woven in.

Every now and then, I’ll also share other updates or news when there’s something worth noting.

Finally it feels like proper Autumn. Rainy, misty, with bare landscapes in browns and reds. But it’s still quite enjoyable, especially with warm cup in hands and thick, cozy socks.

Hello From a Sandy Patch of August

It’s the end of August, the kids are still out of school, the house is full of summer noise and empty lunch plates.
The shop (and our family) is on vacation, and I thought it might be the perfect moment to begin this new letter - a monthly hello from me, from Yens and Spinny, and from the small, slow world we share.
