More fabulous felt by 1st time makers...

Hello lovely makers and creators, as promised another gorgeous make from 1st time felt maker Ruth on a recent Tigerlily Makes felt making day. Ruth chose a classic bucket bag shape with a colour scheme of plum and dug egg, Ruth plans to embellish the project with some of the vintage buttons she has been collecting over the years.

My thanks to Ruth for being such great company, your bag is beautiful :)

Its a bag.. No its a cutie hottie cover!!!

Good morning lovely makers and creators, over the next few days I will be sharing with you some of the lovely makes our newbie felt-makers made on Saturdays bag making course.  Yes I know the above is not a bag but a fabulously co-ordinated hot water bottle cover,  this fabulous make is an example of things you could be making on one of our lovely courses.  You can choose to make either a bag, tea cosy, hot water bottle cover or even a pair of baby booties, you do not need to choose before hand you can simply choose on the day and bring your hot water bottle just in case.

Gemma's hottie cover is just so cute, I love the fresh colours to brighten up cold winter nights, it was a great day and my thanks go out to Gemma for sharing her creation and for being such great company.

Tigerlily Makes will be at the Big Green Fair

Good morning lovely makers and creative and general loveliness's :) This morning I am bringing you news of the Big Green Fair in Whittington Village Hall on Saturday 16th April 2011, the fair plays a vital part in the village calendar and is a collaboration of people playing an active part for a greener footprint.

Whittington and surrounding villages have an incredibly strong sense of community and because of the efforts of the villagers it has proved to be a great event.

The event is very successful and all manner of green exhibitors will be there from self sufficiency to a totally green fashion show.  I will be there promoting the green benefits of wool craft and will be launching a new green range of accessories.

The event will finish with a fabulous green fashion show which hopes to be a collaboration from the participating exhibitors.

With that I hope to see many of you thee to show your support for this very important issue.

Well hello lovely makers and creators, well the Tigerlily Boutique has some great news to share with you this morning.  in just a couple of short months Tigerlily Makes The Felt-making Boutique reaches its 1st year of felty fun!  Yes its been nearly a year since the Boutique opened hasn't it gone quickly.

In light of current times Tigerlily feels that this is a fabulous achievement and therefore the occasion should not be passed by without celebration.

Saturday 9th April is the day and Tigerlily Makes is the place to be for a wonderful day of free demonstrations, raffle prizes and an champagne reception to finish the day off in style.  In recognition of Tigerlily's loyal customers and to help support local charities, Tigerlily Makes will be hosting a charity fundraiser in support of the wonderful work that St Giles Hospice do not only with their residential units but their day centres and the care that St Giles nurses provide out in the community. The day is a non profit making day and all proceeds raised from the raffle and collections will go directly to the charity.

Tigerlily Makes is also part of the St Giles Lottery Discount Card Scheme, which entitles participants 10% of any purchases within the boutique.

Hope to see many of you there as it will prove to be a fantastic day with free demonstrations from Sally Williams of Hug Knitting, Mary Halbert of Crazy Mary Crafts and Tigerlily's own designer Lisa Marie Olson.

Tigerlily Makes in Partnership with St Giles Hospice

Well hello lovely makers and creators, today I wanted to share with you the wonderful work our local St Giles Hospices do both in their specially designed centers but also  in the community.

St Giles Hospice and Tigerlily Makes are working in partnership, Tigerlily Makes is participating in the St Giles Hospice discount scheme. This is a scheme set up by St Giles in order to help those seriously ill patients and their families, the scheme issues patients with a discount card which they can then use to redeem special discounts in the various participating retail shops. As we all know illness can not only have a debilitating effect on our health it can also affect our pockets too.

These hospices are play vital support mechanisms within the  local community to both patients and their families.

The care facilities includes residential care, day care and community nurses that care for patients in the home.

Fundraising is a vital part to raising funds to continue the care in the community that St Giles provide and Tigerlily Makes is proud to support St Giles.

Tigerlily Makes is turning 1 year old in just a few short months and plans are already underway for a fabulous St Giles Charity event on April 9th 2011, with fabulous free demonstrations, drinks and nibbles and so much more.

For more information about the St Giles please visit http://www.stgileshospice.com/

My thanks to
