Hugest thanks for your kind words over the past few days. I've loved hearing your memories of visiting Toy Shops at Christmas and of your favourite stuffed animals. It's so special to have so many people connect to a drawing and I'm really grateful to hear your stories.

This beautiful cover of the @RTE_GUIDE Christmas Issue was illustrated by Shannon Bergin, illustrator of ‘Over the Red-Brick Chimney’ (written by Una Leavy). Have a read of how Shannon created this festive picture!🎄

Well, the news is well and truly out there, I did indeed do a wee drawing for the RTÉ Guide✨ I'm impatiently awaiting its arrival and am very excited to see it in real life. It was a joy to work on and brought so much Christmas wonder and magic as the days got shorter. 💛
