Our Makeship plush campaign has reached 100%! Jupiter has been summoned to the physical realm.
Huge thanks to everyone who pledged! You can still pledge now, or there will be another chance to bag the cat once the design is finalised and the campaign window opens.

Launch day. Here's all the encouragement we need: some lovely words from press for sure (lovingly collated by my wife) - but the best ones from the kids. Freddie then gave me a sticker that he earned from school yesterday - 'For your big work day, Dad. You need it more than me' ❤️
