Lily the Lamb Tea Towel Collection

We are talking Lily the Lamb today on the TM blog, specifically Tea Towels. 

As you know I have been developing and growing my Lily the Lamb range for some time and what started out as my logo and a little black and white needle felted lamb has blossomed into a growing range of unique characters that translate in to pretty surface patterns for fabric, tea towels, colouring books, mirrors, magnets and so much more. 

The first collection of tea towels has been made up and they will be available in my Etsy store very soon. 

They are extremely high quality not only in print but in material and have full care labels attached. 

They will retail around £10 and are produced right here in the UK. The tea towels are printed and then sent to me to machine finish. 

They will be available from September and will be available for pre order at the end of August.

Time for Tea & Cake Felt Wall Art

Well you guessed it lovely felt folk, its another wonderfully adventurous edition of the TM blog.

We had a bumpy ride down the rabbit hole last time so we thought we would come straight through the looking glass this time.

Today's blog is a follow on from the Alice in Wonderland inspired Wall Art. Time for Tea & Cake wall art/decor is also a re-invention from the original which can be seen below.

Again this cake theme started life on a greetings card and then translated to a shadow frame.

Like the Alice frame, proportional this was not sitting right with me and I felt, if you pardon the pun, there was just a little something missing. As I had already re-invented the Alice Frame I was pretty confident that I could make this work for the cake and will be testing out on the mad hatter design too. Add in some decorative stitching to the front and viola its been reborn! Again fitting a playing card from my own personal collection of memorabilia... and I have a lot... just seemed to give it that something extra.

So here it is, what do you think?

Finished Makes From Our Fabulous Felt Slipper Course

It is will great excitement I bring you today's blog post, live from the top of Tigerlily Towers!

You may remember our slipper course from last month and the great fun we all had making our slippers, well luckily I can now share some makes from that day.


Laurie had never felted before, but wanted to learn how to felt as she has her very own flock of sheep! Yes her very own flock of sheep. Laurie and her husband have a farm in Staffordshire as well as having another day job on top. Keeping sheep on their farm meant that the fleece was generally going to waste and so Laurie put her thinking cap on as to how to best utilise this. Laurie came on the course having never done any wet felting before, she had dabbled in needle felting but not wet felting. I think I shall let Laurie's slipper do the talking and you can see you for yourself what beautiful things can be achieved in felt, having not had any previous experience.

Laurie's Finished Slipper - there is another to match! 

Another lady that came on the course was the lovely Amanda a very experienced and accomplished crafter. Amanda had wanted to make slippers for such a long time and had even had a go at felting some before she came on the course, but felt (if you pardon the pun) that they weren't quite right. So after a few emails, Amanda decided to book on the course and the results are fabulous. Amanda chose a beautiful colour combination and has finished them with suede slipper soles.

Thank yo so much to both ladies for letting me share your wonderful creations on my blog. It was a great fun day and I am delighted you have found a new craft.
