Remember this gal, who loved our robots so much she got them tattooed on herself?

Check out this – one of our slogans tattooed on a wrist! Cross stitch gets everywhere these days!

It’s finally time! Miso Funky’s samplers will be on TV in the UK this very evening!

They feature on the hit show Mary Queen Of Shops which is on tonight, Monday, on BBC2 at 9pm. Mary Portas is a retail guru, famous for turning around ailing shops into mega-successes.

Make sure you tune in to see the amazing transformation of a homewares shop in Kingston, outside London, from dull to dazzling, with the help of Miso Funky goods and more! Our pal Mhairi at Much Too Fun also did the graphics for their new website.

You will have to keep your eyes sharply peeled for our gold-framed samplers, but they do appear a few times towards the end of the show. Rumour has it that they’re sold out already and the show’s not even been on yet, hurrah!

Today, TV – tomorrow, the worrrrrrrrrrrrld!

(Yeah, I am a little overexcited!)

As the owner of an indie business, every single little mention of what I’m doing not only helps me to grow, but gives me a little thrill too!

Here’s some nice little mentions that have popped up recently:

Jentwinkle included our mini tea samplers on her Folksy Friday blog post.

Odd Sox included our gin-themed coasters in a gin-themed Folksy Friday blog post too.

Odd Sox also included us in a post about badges last week too – thanks!

We were also recently featured in Sew Magazine as a source of Sublime Stitching patterns – get yours here!

And finally, a giant mention from the Easyjet inflight magazine! It’s true – we’re really taking off!

Yes, it’s true, me and Hamish appear in the new book, Working 5 to 9, all about setting up your own business in your “spare” time.

There’s a profile of me and Miso Funky, how we got started and how we keep going in there, along with a horrible photo no doubt!

You can buy it by clicking on the photo above – it’s well worth a read if you’re in business or thinking of starting one up, as it’s chock-full of hints and tips to get the most out of your ideas!

A few little mentions recently that have brought a smile to Hamish’s face…

This sweet post on craft kits over at Sew Crafty Fox.

This German magazine, Nightline, which also features our fellow Glasgow Craft Mafia member, Showpony‘s tote bags.

Don’t forget to check out our new stuff here.

Yay! Today we were featured in the Guardian’s Valentine’s Gift Guide.

Our Robot Lovers card was included in a round-up of handmade sweet lovin’ thanks to the craftiest writer around, Perri Lewis.

Although we’re now sold completely out of robot cards, you can still pick up a postcard to send a sweet nothing to your loved one.

Click here to see our Valentines collection. You still have time to order so we can get it to you for the special day!

Whee! Exciting times here with the press features really stacking up! And look, a mention in the Guardian Gift Guide!

Get your mugs here – stocks are running low and there won’t be more ordered before Christmas! Once they’re gone, they’re gone!

We’re featured sellers on Folksy right now! How exciting!

Check us and a whole host of other designers’ work out here.

OK, not quite, but the Channel 4 website is exciting enough for us!

We’v been so busy here at Miso Funky Towers that we’ve not had much time to stop and sit down long enough to fire up the blog, sorry! We’re even looking to hire an extra pair of hooves!

Have been flat out working hard to get orders made and out to you. Lead time is still currently 3 weeks for samplers but we’re working as fast as humanly possible to get them out sooner, promise!

A special hello to our army of new fans from Australia! Our In Case Of Emergency Breakdance sampler was featured in Cleo Magazine recently, so we’ve been getting lots of visits from lovely Aussies with great taste in homewares! Bonzer! (Sorry, but I do say that quite a lot in real life!)

On with the sewing! It’s a Make Tea Not War day today, all headed for beautiful Belfast.

Whee! Miso Funky’s Make Tea Not War sampler is featured in the Style magazine of the Sunday Times today.

We’re very excited as the orders are rolling in faster than Usain Bolt! Thanks to Hunkydory Home for their all-round excellency!
