Without our nail technicians, many service users would be unable to get their shoes on/risk of falls = not able to get out = isolated/ overall decline.

This Robin cushion has been hiding away waiting patiently for me to let him fly the nest. This is the last of my blue herringbone Harris Tweed, but if you'd like to commission a different colour I can make to order #earlybiz #robin https://t.co/1AdDIQ3rMv

These badgers are channelling their autumnal vibes - stitched onto orange and green Harris Tweed which remind me of the changing colour of leaves #EarlyBiz #autumnal https://t.co/mkWjBhamUC
