handmade felt

think this lovely weather is confusing me....

earlier in the week I decided to make a light, floaty scarf in lovely golds, oranges and greens
...so I began....laying out the fibres...
then wetting out the fibres, then the felting process... but somehow I just wasn't happy with it until I had felted it to within an inch of its life!!!
 resulting in a scarf not light and floaty at all, but warm and cosy!!
 however, sanity returned yesterday when the hand dyed scrim I had been waiting for arrived...
... melt in the mouth summery colours of lime and raspberry crush....
 ...couldn't wait to get cracking on this lovely summery scarf, perfect for the gorgeous warm weather we're having at the moment...of course it could be snowing next week !!!!

it's the easter bunny!!!

 had a lovely day on Saturday at Springwell Community Venue, lots going on....raffle, biscuit decorating for kids, lots of tea and gorgeous cake, grand appearance of a very photogenic easter bunny, and....customers!!!

...always find it inspiring to chat with other makers
                                              but probably had too much tea and cake...as usual.....

what is it about craft fairs that makes me just want to consume everything in sight??

easter things...

really enjoyed making these stripey egg cosies with added flower power... 
... millie can't decide which one she likes best, but she loves to be in on a photo
think this one is my favourite, I like the summer meadowiness of it
....also had the urge to make some birds
....hoping to sell some at Springwell at the weekend.
