Bloomin Lovely Felt Bowls and slippers...

Morning everyone, well just a quickie today as I have lots to do before my hols.  Yesterday I had the pleasure of Michele and Mary's company when they cam on their 3rd felt-making course.  It was yet another great day with fabulous company, lots of laughs and lovely felt-making.

Pictured above is the citrus delight of Mary's Bowl and I am eagerly awaiting the return of Michele's slippers so that I can snap them and share with you all.

Thank you Michele and Mary or another great day felt-making.

What's coming up in The Felt-making Boutique...

Morning everyone, well its just a quick one today as I have much preparation to do for the new felt-making kits I am going to be launching in the boutique in a few months.  So with that in mind I thought I would give you a sneak peak at one of the first.

Pictured above is my very new design the Dolly Daisy Felt Slipper, this is a shape and design that has been popular on courses and therefore will be made into a kit over the next few months. However!! please be patient with me as I have just started the packaging process... I have a great designer who has come up with an mazing and unique solution to packaging the kits in.  at the moment we are in design phase, then we move to production phase and finally we can package what goes into them.

So keep your eye on the blog for progress updates.

Two Lisa's Spend a fab day felt-making in the boutique :)

Lovely Lisa's Gorgeous Bag

Hi everyone, just thought I would share with you what's been going on in the boutique this weekend.  Due to having had a fully booked private course moved to another date I was in the very rare position of having a Saturday free, this meant that I was open to additional last minute bookings.  Lisa pictured above with her stunning bag was able to take full advantage of this and book herself in for a days felt-making, so the two of us had the whole day to ourselves to have fun in the boutique.

My thanks go out to the lovely Lisa for making it such a great day, Lisa's finished bag is fantastic.

Dolly Doolittle Winter Warmer

Hi everyone, well as promised the much awaited and much talked about hot water bottle cover.  Introducing Dolly Doolittle Winter Warmer and yes I know we have just had one of our hottest days!!! However I have taken a call recently from Channel Four's Kirsty's Home Made Homes, I spoke  for quite a while with a lovely lady on the KHMH (Kirsty's Home Made Homes) team whilst she explained to me that they were possibly looking for someone to do a felt hot water bottle as a feature on Kirsty's programme.   I was also told that a lot of the twitter followers had wanted to see a felt-making feature on the programme, I was asked lots of questions about how I would make this and gave my responses.

After I put the phone down with shear excitement from having been called by the programme (which I am a huge fan of)  I thought well if they do decide to call on me I had better be prepared so pictured above is the finished item.

I am still waiting to hear if they are going ahead with it or not, so fingers crossed.

So if you would like to see me in action making this on the programme, please take the time to visit Kirsty's Home Made Home Twitter Page and give me a plug.
