  1. Hi Hanna, interesting that these creatures exist. It sometimes seems that the more unique and unusual a product is, the more popular it has the potential to be. I would classify this/these product(s) as unique and unusual. I’m guessing there’s a pretty good market for what you’re offering I can’t think of a use at the moment, but it’s the kind of thing my girlfriend likes. I may be a future customer.

  2. I think your website and patterns are a really good idea for young girls especially, and older ones too. I have a grand- daughter who is at the sort of age when she may appreciate such patterns so as to create things herself. I will discuss it with her and may well send her some patterns as a Christmas or birthday present. My grand-daughter is quite creative and loves art and making things. Well done!
