Regalily Puttin on the Ritz kits goes down a storm AGAIN!

Hello and a very, very warm, woolly and fully felted welcome aboard the "Wool Train" as we take a ride on the latest felty journey.

Today I wanted to share a quick video blog about one of our most popular kits.  What ever show we do and we are just back from a 2 day show, this kit always attracts a lot of attention and always goes home with new owners ready to be fully felted!

So we thought you might like to know what all the fuss is about!

But for now.... keeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

Boost Your Blog Course with the Great Little Picture Company

Well hello and a very warm, woolly and fully felted welcome to you all, on this fine Sunday afternoon!

Today I would like to share with you a fantastic course run by the Great Little Picture Company, its all about boosting your blog with relevant content and how to take good blog photos.  I went to this just this morning, we started at 9am and had completed everything we needed to know by 12 noon.

The course is extremely well constructed and founder of GLPC Sara Moseley makes everything really easy and simple to follow, she is a very generous and patient tutor.  Detailed course notes are provided for you as part of your course session and for you to take home and refer back to.  Tea's and coffee were also provided and were in good supply.

With my new found knowledge, I couldn't wait to get back and put it into practice! So with a little over an hours worth of playing around with the settings on my camera, I feel I found that one good blog shot!

And here it is.

I would highly recommend this course to any blogger out there, knowing your camera and taking better photos is the key to an encapsulating read.

Fab day making lovely felt bags with old blogging friend and lovely ladies...

Hello lovely makers and creators, well today I am very excited to share with you a lovely lady that I had known via blogging for over a year and finally got to meet!! Yay.  Meet Vicky AKA Blush-Dolly

Vicky is a very talented and inspirational paper crafts designer and designs for the likes of Pink Petticoat and her designs are amazing.  It is through our love of paper crafts that we met and have stayed in touch ever since.

Well on Wednesday 13th April Vicky broke her holiday to come and spend a day felt-making and what a day it was, it was so lovely to be able to spend the day with such a warm and friendly person and share a creative passion with another who is just as passionate as I am about creating and making.

Please visit Vicky's blog and support our UK talent, and if you see something you like why not commission Vicky to create a truly inspirational design for you.

I think you will all agree that Vicky's bag is truly beautiful and yes this was the first time that Vicky had ever felted, great job Vicky.  Thank you so much for your lovely company Vicky.

Stay tuned over the next few days for more felt-tastic first time makes.

100% Fairly Traded Hand Felted Die Cut Flowers

Well good morning lovely makers and creators, pictured above is a selection of the 100% Fairly Traded Felt Flowers currently available to buy in the Felt Boutique!!  They really are 100% fairly traded and the supplier I have sourced them from has actually been out to the site where the women make them and has spoken to the women first hand to confirm that they have decent and fair working conditions.  Not forgetting to check the validity of the company owners.

All the felt for the flowers has been hand felted and is of exceptional quality, once in the UK the sheets are cut down and flowers are die cut.

I am just thrilled to be able to support these impoverished women and help them earn a living.

I will be selling these ready to make flowers on the website in approximately 4-6 weeks.

Sally's blooming lovely first time felted bag...

Morning lovely makers and creators, today we are sharing with your this blooming lovely creation as made by Sally on a Tigerlily Makes felt-making day. Gorgeous tones of plum and duck egg were chosen, a combination we have chosen over and over.

Sally created a lovely flower design in duck egg, the petals of which you can see peeping out and finished it with the 100% fair trade hand felted and die cut flowers that we have in stock here at the boutique.

I think you will agree that this is the perfect combination of UK hand crafted items married with the fair trade work of the women of Nepal. 

My thanks to sally for being such a great company, your bag is blooming lovely!!

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.
