Playing Catch Up With Christmas.

As always at this time of year, Christmas is coming far too quickly.  It is hard to stay in front. But a lovely parcel arrived last week to improve the situation. It turns out Cheryll of Gone Stitchin is my final FHFS partner for 2014 and look at this lovely sight. How lucky am I? […]




A White Rabbit Day.

White rabbits for the first day of April. And Easter is sneaking up quickly, too. I have completed my felt candle mat in time for the Easter Bunny. Here’s the link again to the book.     I also saw a variation of this on Pinterest just using one bunny. So of course I had […]




Is It Really Winter?

I am really in two minds as to what season it is at the moment. I know it is officially Winter and today is suitably cold, but all sorts of odd things are happening. Last week we had our hottest July day on record. So of course we were getting around in short sleeves on […]




Extra Easter.

Playing with the ribbons and the eggs led to more little Easter goodies. Just can’t help myself. It started with an Easter Chick.   Then along came an Easter Bunny. And another egg! It’s so easy to play with felt. Maybe a few more to make?




Owls, Again.

Lots of owls in the garden, today. Daytime ones.  I have a group of friends who get together just before Christmas and we all bring little gifts to swap.  These hot pads are the start of my little collection of gifts to give. They come from a pattern named Hot Who and it’s from Susie […]




Snow Mates.

I have completed the little wall hanging that was well under way last week. It has grown from this…   To this ………   I had wanted to play with different colours to see how they worked. The original has been done with white ribbons for the  snowmen on a natural linen. That one is […]




Snowflakes.

Snowflakes in September! I shouldn’t joke about that. The way our weather is here, anything is possible, even though it is Spring. My snowflakes refer to the felt ornaments I have been making. The first group are made using a mitten shape from one of the patterns from Rachel’s Of Greenfield. I have than added […]




Playing With More Felt.

My little felt snowmen are completed. They are all stitched, filled and decorated. I even remembered to add a hanging thread. I hope to make another batch of these, but am happy with this lot for now. These are from a pattern and kit by Rachel’s of Greenfield, called Snow Folk. I have another kit […]




Block Work.

I really enjoy the way some blocks can be made in such a simple way to give quite a striking result. I wanted to make these ????? blocks and saw that they were made quite simply using jelly roll strips. They are normally cut using a 90 degree triangle template, but I didn’t have one […]




Lovely Kits.

At the last craft show in March I purchased several Marg Low kits. This Winter weather has given me the perfect excuse to make a start on them. This one that I have completed is Festive Trinkets. Before. And after. I haven’t added the hanging cord yet as I am debating maybe sewing  a small […]
