5 out of 5 starsMy second purchase from this wonderful shop. Ruth is a delight to deal with, my cushion arrived beautifully wrapped very quickly up to the wilds of Cumbria. I am absolutely thrilled with it….even lovelier in ‘real life’….with the option of 2 gorgeous designs depending on mood and light. Highly highly recommend. ⭐️

5 out of 5 starsNot only are the pin cushions Ruth sent us even more beautiful than they looked online (which was very beautiful) but I cannot say enough about how great Ruth was during a shipping process that went awry. Through no fault of hers, and as an unusual experience on her end (pandemic-related customs issue), the package containing two pin cushions went missing in action for several weeks. During this time, she kept me thoroughly updated on what she was able to learn, and ultimately the package arrived safely. She even went above and beyond and sent us an extra pin cushion free of charge, which was entirely unnecessary but very much appreciated. All of the above turned the experience into a nice and rewarding one, instead of being a source of frustration. Thank you so much, Ruth.

5 out of 5 starsRuth made these for me with shades of red and they are beautiful! She was very accommodating, and produced exactly what I wanted. She kept in touch all along the way, keeping me updated with the process. Great artist, fabulous chair pads and a lovely person to deal with too! Very pleased with them, thank you Ruth!

From my studio with love
"Working with fibre, I felt the varied textures into an organic cloth, beautiful to the eye and pleasing to the touch. Working behind the lens, I snap individual moments along my journey, sharing small, yet shining moments in time. Working with the stroke of a brush, I infuse colour and passion and love, pouring my heart onto a once blank canvas. And through it all, are the connections between my art forms, between nature and art and design and between each of our lives. My Etsy shop provides the opportunity to share with you my creations along my journey heading true north. May they bring as much joy to your lives, as creating and sharing them has brought to mine."

Frequently asked questions
Custom and personalised orders
I love making customised seat and floor cushions. Please contact me with a description of what you would like and we'll « co-create » from there.
I love your design but wondering if the seam on the top would be uncomfortable?
The seam is soft and it can not be felt when sitting on it. It is really just a design feature. You will not be able to guess whether you are sitting on the side without seams or the one with seams. I add seams purposely to give little glimpses of the "inside" and the "depth" of the cloth. My felt is beautiful inside and outside and one way of showing this is to expose a little of both. It does not impact the feel or the function.
Care instructions
Do I need to wash my leather free rug ?
No.
I recommend letting if breathe some fresh air once or twice a year. These rugs like to be outside in spring and / or autumn for a couple of hours, give it a shake and leave it to be "dry cleaned" by the sun. If you like you can add one drop of your favourite essential oil when bringing it back inside.
Wool is naturally dirt and mould resistant.
Care instructions
Do I need to wash my silky scarf often?
No. If you feel that it needs a little freshening up, you could soak the item carefully like you would with wool items. Use handwarm water, organic detergent and soak for a few minutes. Then rinse with minimal handling. Lay flat and air dry.
Wholesale availability
Please contact me via email.
Gift wrapping and packaging
All my items are wrapped / packaged carefully and with love.
Plastic free packaging {sometimes I will use pre used ♻️} matters to me.
I mostly use natural Tissue Paper, Kraft Paper, Kraft Paper Bags and Jiffy green Bags or Cardboard Boxes.
Pin Cushions & Brooches come in their own little brown Kraft Boxes.
Care instructions
Leather free Rug: If you have the opportunity — after unwrapping — to give your rug a gentle "shake" and leave it to breathe some fresh air outside in the sun for a little while, it will adjust well from the journey.
Care instructions
Washing Rugs.
Spot clean if necessary. If you feel that, after some time {years rather than months}, the piece needs a wet wash, you could soak it in handwarm, slightly soapy water {wool detergent, biodegradable} in a large sink or bath tub and then rinse it in handwarm water with a dash of white vinegar. If you like you could add a few drops of your favourite essential oil to the vinegar rinse. Gently squeeze the water out and dry flat. It will drip! The pieces are very heavy when wet.
Care instructions
Can my leather free rug be vacuumed?
No.
Give it a good shake outside instead.
