Glasgow on Ice!

Glasgow's winterfest starts this weekend, and the ice skating was so much fun last year. If you've got children under 4 years old, they have special toddler sessions where they have dancing snowmen and little penguin trolley-things that they can push around, and sledges too. Pity they don't have the trolleys for the parents who have never skated before in their lives!

Oily Cart Theatre for Under Fives

If you are in the London Area and have small children, the christmas show by Oily Cart theatre company looks wonderful! It's all about baking, the children get to 'smell the baking dough, feel the flour and see the sugar and salt sparkle' and at the end they take away a freshly baked bun. My two little girls and I were amazed and enchanted by two of their previous shows - I'm just sad that they won't be performing this show in Scotland...
Christmas Baking Time is on at the Lyric Hammersmith from 27th November 2009 to 3rd January 2010

Cards!

These hand-drawn and collaged cards are on sale now in our Etsy shop. Each card is completely unique and is perfect to send on its own or with your Dotty Monkey gift!

A new litter of Pram Kittens...

We've been busy sewing a whole new litter of pram kittens and they're available to buy in our Etsy shop. They make charming gifts for a baby - just the right size for tiny hands to squash...
