Nutmeg feels like a creature who enjoys the slower things - mugs of tea, quiet corners and watching the world go by.

These frogs began as something small to hold on wobbly days, but they have grown into comforting keepsakes for people of all ages. Ready to bring a smile or a bit of courage when needed.

Full description

This is the tale of a little frog called Catkin.

The gardener's friend.

Catkin lives beneath an old terracotta pot in the greenhouse, where the air is warm, damp and earthy, and light filters softly through the glass.

It is a place of slow-growing things... seedlings stretch, and tiny shoots turn green.

Catkin is helpful in her own quiet way. She shoos away the pests that nibble where they shouldn't.

No one ever quite sees what Catkin does.

But somehow, the greenhouse feels looked after...

A though something small and kind is tending things, in its own gentle way.

Catkin was hand-knitted slowly one stitch at a time in my little Shropshire workshop, not far from the Ironbridge, where the riverbanks whisper stories of small comforts and cosy companions.

Catkin emerges with her own personality knit into every stitch.

Each one of my frogs is unique, due to the nature of hand-knitting and the colour changing yarn - your frog will be yours and yours alone.

What you will receive.

- Your Frog

- A printed story card.

- Handwritten name card.

Your frog will arrive thoughtfully wrapped, ready to gift, perch on a shelf, desk or in a favourite cosy nook.

Catkin measures 16 cm (including legs) X 7 cm

This items is not a toy, but a comforting companion for grown ups, collectors or anyone who appreciates quiet humour and handmade things with soul.
