Fab slipper making day and thrilling results for first time felt-maker.....

Well what can I say last Thursdays slipper course was absolutely fantastic, we had a great day making felt and spending the day in fits of laughter.  I also wanted to share one of the most fabulous makes of the day from first time felt-maker Jackie.

Jackie had been drawn to the dolly daisy design that I had set up in the window display and thought why not I would like to have a go.... and what a fantastic end result. Jackie has now decided that these will be her summer pair and will be making a clog like version for the winter.

I am absolutely thrilled with the amazing job Jackie has done, I absolutely love running courses and sharing my knowledge and I am never more thrilled when our lovely felt-makers produce outstanding results... I will never tire of the pleasure it gives me seeing people try new things and succeeding.  Its a great boost for all involved.

First time felt-maker Beverley makes stunning felt tea cosy

Hi everyone, I wanted to share with you another fabulous make from another first time felt-maker.  Beverley's beautiful tea cosy is her fist ever felt make, prior to this Beverley had never experienced felt making before... however after spending a day in the felt Boutique this is what Beverley took home.

The tea cosy is a great success and as you can see fits in beautifully with Beverley's colour scheme at home.

25th Anniversary Celebrations and lots of finger puppets

Morning everyone, well the celebrations on Sunday were a great success, we had a fire engine, dance academy. choir, panning for gold, pancake tossing and so much more.

The whole point of the day was to celebrate the centre turning 25 years old and to raise much needed money for Heart Radio's Have a Heart charity. We in the boutique held felt making demonstrations and the children were invited to make finger puppets for a small donation to help raise funds for the charity.

Pictured above are some of the wonderful puppets made by Megan, Anna, Imogen and Isobel on the day... more puppets coming in the next post.

My thanks go out to the very talented guest artist Ian Whittle who ran the workshops throughout the day, the workshops were so successful that Ian barely had time to eat the wonderful chocolate cake dripped in hot chocolate sauce provided by More Cocoa

The courtyard outside the boutique is finished and looks amazing!!

Hi everyone, just a quick one today as am busy preparing for my courses this week.  Pictured above is the amazing courtyard designed and installed by Stylehouse Design I cannot begin to stress how good this company is... as mentioned in previous posts, Stylehouse were the consummate professionals all the way through the process and were extremely considerate to our customers during the process.  Very often they would come in incredibly early to get noisy and  messy jobs done before our customers arrived.

My thanks go out to Mr & Mrs Stubbs and all of the Stubbs family for the investment that they have made and for all the hard work leading up to the big celebrations.

More on the anniversary celebrations coming in the week.

More fabulous bag making...

Hi everyone, another quick peek at another fabulous bag made on one of the many felt-making courses Tigerlily Makes runs.

Above is Linsey's bag. Linsey found inspiration from on of the bags for sale in the boutique and decided that she would give it a go.  Linsey had also tried some felting on her own at home and had some success but wasn't completely sure if she had perfected the technique, so Lindsey decided to come on a course and get some hands on experience.   After spending a day in the boutique Lindsey was confident that she could now go home and re-create as many bags as she wanted to make.  Lindsey's generosity meant that her newly made bag was given as a gift to a friend.

Summer places are fast running out so to secure your place contact Lisa on 0845 543 9046 or email: info@tigerlilymakes.co.uk
