I feel at my most creative around mid-morning, which is usually bad news, since that’s when I’m usually at work (weekdays) or outside (weekends) or still in bed (weekends) or in the shower (today). It’s now early afternoon, but that creative bug is still biting me, so I’ve decided to make a start on my bestie’s birthday present. She’s been pretty down lately so I figured the best thing to cheer her up would be… a unicorn! Because who can be unhappy when a unicorn gallops majestically across your living room? Or, more realistically, leans against the back of your sofa? Not me! And hopefully not my girl, either.

The raw materials.
