Working together, separately

Working towards the launch of our craft business, Rhiannon and I have decided to change our plans. Instead of launching our craft business, we will now be launching our individual craft businesses.

So this does mean the end (or at least, pause) of Jupiter Hollow, but it also means the renewal of Tanith Rowan Designs and the beginning of Parlour Duck crafts.

This blog will remain, and we may come to use it for future endeavours if the time and opportunities are right. But the majority of new stuff will be at the new blogs.

So I will be at the new Tanith Rowan blog, talking about hats and soft toys and soft toys in hats and maths nerd stuff and all things Christmas and Halloween and whatever else takes my fancy. (You can also check me out on Facebook.) I started off the blog with a post about the lessons I've learned since I first started up an etsy store with the dream of selling hats. You can also read about my in-store debut at the Crago Mill in Bathurst. In the coming weeks you can expect to see some new fabric designs, new hats, and more thoughts about creative business and motivation.

Rhiannon will be at the new Parlour Duck blog, with all her amazing embroidery and crochet, as well as more looks at vintage patterns and recipes - not to mention cute and gorgeous baby things as she gears up for the arrival of a tiny new person in November.  Some things she is working on to look forward to include the start of fabric designing, Christmas ornaments, more gloves and projects from year 2 of the Embroiderers' Guild course.
