Welcome to the Empire of the Cat
This is my personal blog which is mainly concerned with arts and crafts, design, graphics; updates to my online shops, and general and personal observations.
I own a lot of craft books but I'm always looking for more, so if you want to send me some, please click on the contact tab and leave your message. Ditto with any questions about the blog or the shops.
