The final giveaway in my Christmas Giveaway series comes from Claire of Miso Funky! You’ll have seen Miso Funky mentioned around here before, Claire and I shared a stall space at Renegade London a few months back.
Tell us about what you do!
I cross stitch homewares and accessories – they’re traditional samplers with a very modern twist. I like to offer something a bit different to the extremely twee stuff out there – a wee bit of subversiveness!
What’s next for Miso Funky?
Well, this year, I have several events in the run-up to Christmas, including the Made In The Shade Hullabaloo on December 10th. I also ran workshops in the Sknitch Zone at Clothes Show Live on December 4th – very exciting! After the Christmas rush is out the way, I’ll be concentrating on preparing for some big events next year, as well as a new range of bigger cross stitch kits.
Does all that cross-stitching give you a bad back?!
No, it doesn’t! If anything, it gives me a slightly dodgy wrist sometimes. And I probably should wear my glasses more… For the finished pieces, I now have a team of expert stitchers to help me out, otherwise I’d need to work 48 hour days!
What’s your favourite book?
Flat Stanley. It’s a classic kids’ book about a boy who gets flattened by a pinboard. My favourite bit is when he posts himself to America – I wish I could do that!
And finally, what’s your favourite thing about Christmas?
Probably my favourite time is when I can shut up shop and relax. I am going to have some proper days off this year from my day job, so once that last parcel is posted, I am kicking back and relaxing! I love wrapping gifts, so I will be looking forward to getting all my ribbons and bows out soon to start to get into the festive spirit!
You can find Miso Funky on facebook and twitter, too :)
