Handmade Felt Christmas Pudding Cards

Hello again and continuing on the dreaded C word theme, my felted Christmas pudding cards are making a return again this year. I just love making these, I am not sure why they are so popular... but each year customers ask for them. Is it the something very shiny that comes with each pudding or the very berry, berries that top the pudding or maybe just the whole thing. Who knows but, but people want them and who am I to argue.

These are currently in production as we speak and will be in our boutiques from October.

For now though hope you are having a pudding of a time in the run up t the festive season!

Tigerlily Makes joins the Handmade Movement at Handmade Boutique Birmingham

Well hello, lovely makers creators, felt folk and all round lovely people! Welcome to the latest edition of the Tigerlily Makes Blog!

Today I am very excited to be sharing with you a beautiful shop in The Great Western Arcade in Birmingham, call the Handmade Boutique. I have been invited to join this wonderful boutique and unique concept.

The Handmade Boutique was first founded in 2012 with a temporary pilot scheme to test the market and to see if designer handmade products could be brought to the high st! Well 2 years on the first permanent Handmade Boutique has been a roaring success and is now passed its first year of trading.

I am delighted to say that Tigerlily Makes has been invited to take part in this unique concept and has already installed an array of  Lily lamb and hand felted products.

My main aim with this boutique is to specialise in my much adored and loved Character Lily Lamb and my much coveted Alice In Wonderland inspired range. Lily Lamb as you know is Tigerlily Makes official mascot, character and product range, so far we have Lily Lamb fridge magnets, mirrors, key rings and notebooks. Following on from this we have Colouring books in the making as well as tea towels. Later in the year I will be doing a range of notebooks and notebook bumper packs as well as a whole host of other products.

As for the Alice range, I will be expanding this range to including new greetings card designs, shadow frame designs and more of the hand felted blocks.

For now thought I think I will just leave you with a few of the lovely midlands and UK produced Tigerlily Makes product lines!

Treat Your Eggs To A Cosy Kit!

It’s Farmhouse Breakfast Week this week folks.  Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so to celebrate the institution of the Great British Breakfast, here’s some facts about everyone’s favourite – the egg:-

• There is a place in Switzerland called Egg with a population of just under 8000 people. There is another town called Egg in Austria with a population of just under 3500 people

• Eggs are an excellent source of protein, minerals and essential vitamins and can make significant contributions to healthy diets

• Approximately 10% of the egg contents are fat and this fat is almost entirely contained within the yolk. The good news is that only 3% is saturated fat

• A medium egg contains less than 80 calories

• Fresh eggs sink in water, stale ones float

As a real treat for your boiled eggs, take a look at my Felt Egg Cosy Kit.  Easy to make, it’s perfect for felt fans of all ages and abilities and makes the perfect gift too. The kit contains everything you need to make 4 co-coordinating egg cosy's

Tigerlily Makes gets a Double Page Feature in Crafts Beautiful

Oh my goodness I am absolutely thrilled to have been interviewed by Crafts Beautiful mag for a double page feature in this months edition.

This has obviously been in the pipeline for quite sometime... but Shhhhh don't tell anyone that... lets just keep that between us! I was absolutely thrilled to have been contacted by CB's editor Sarah Crossland and I believe that I was put forward by CB's Rebecca Ellwood who I have been working closely with  now for quite sometime, on a number of promotional projects. Bekki has always been very supportive of myself and all that is Tigerlily Makes. Bekki has always ensured that I get the best advice when it comes to making the most of advertising and promotional aspects for Tigerlily Makes.

I wasn't quite sure what to expect or how big the feature would be, I found the whole process extremely pleasant, very well organised and I have to say the feature is outstanding! Then the absolute cherry and icing on the cake, was to have my egg cosy kits featured on the front cover!

So don't forget to pick up this months copy of CB and for now keeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

A New Year, New Designs and a Brand New Website

Wow well what a mammoth few days we have had here at Tigerlily Makes! We have got off to a rip roaring and flying start to 2014 with a brand new website!

What can I say Tigerlily's previous websites and I have not been getting along... over the past four years I have had implemented 2 websites at the advice of media gurus and therefore on that advice have instructed web developers to do what the gurus have advised. After 4 agonising years of being so frustrated with a website that clearly doesn't function with the ease I would like it to, I decided enough was enough!

So I set to, to create my own with web package tools that I could purchase to plan and design exactly what I wanted and how I wanted it to look and function. It was the only way to provide the lovely shoppers, felters and newbie felters in the making with a much more enjoyable and easy shopping experience.

I have to say that I am literally jumping for joy and over the moon with this package. Its taken me 3 days from scratch, including formatting all the artwork from my artwork library  and doing it this way meant that I was fully able to understand the process and how my website functioned.

It is so easy to navigate around and this was my primary concern for anyone using the website. The shopping cart is nicely laid out and easy to use as well as providing shoppers postage options and multiple item discounts!

Hurrah I hear you say and not before time! Its been a long, long and very bumpy road where the website is concerned but at last... 3rd time lucky she says with fingers crossed it is hear and very user friendly.

So really I think there is only one more thing to say that's "Ta Dah" here it is! Hope you like it, click the photo to take a look around the live site.

Happy New Year from Tigerlily Makes

Well what a festive season we have had, its been a full on time for us again as a family and here at Tigerlily Towers, but now I am back fully charged and raring to go.

So what better way to start the first blog of the year with a Happy New Year message!

2013 has certainly been a full-on year, with new avenues explored and many new friends made.  Highlights have included Create & Craft TV  (being a guest presenter was an amazing experience), The Handmade Boutique, a summer of craft fairs, The Vintage Emporium,  card making, buttons, new online retail opportunities and of course, passing on my love of all things felt via my training courses and craft kits.

Let’s hope that 2014 is just as exciting.  It goes without saying that top of the calendar for all of us here at Tigerlily Towers is the arrival of my first grand-child, due in March. 

Thank you for your company and your custom in 2013, and may I wish each and every one of you a  a warm and prosperous New Year.
For now though I will leave with Lily Lamb one of our new felting kits coming in the spring of this year!

But for now keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

A NEW Course!

I’m always keen to receive feedback following courses, and at shows, and it’s as a result  of customer feedback that I’m launching a new Needle Felting course in November!

Birds & Blooms is a one day felting course where you will learn how to make beautiful decorative felt flowers or a cute little bird.  Once you’ve mastered the art, your new-found skills can be used to make corsages, brooches and decorative items for the home.

 

The first Birds & Blooms day will be held on 23^rd November at Middleton Hall Wedding Venue Nr Tamworth.  We’ll get going at 10.30 and needle felt our way through the day, ending at around 4.30 pm.  

The day costs £55.00 which includes all your needle felting materials, tea/coffee and cake/biscuits.  All we ask is that you bring a packed lunch, or some money to buy lunch when we have a break.

No experience is necessary as full tuition will be given. Make something truly bespoke and handmade by you whilst you experience the magic that "Tigerlily Makes" to book your place just email info@tigerlilymakes.co.uk

If making them yourself doesn't interest you, but you like the idea of owning one  then simply visit My Etsy shop.

You’re Never Too Old To Learn Something New

Since spending time at the Handmade Boutique, one recurring theme from the lovely people who take time to visit us and buy our products is “ooooh aren’t you all clever”! 

It’s wonderful to have our hand-crafted products admired but I often wonder why more people don’t take up the challenge to be more creative themselves.   We have a number of courses at The Handmade Boutique and attendees always have a good time, learning a new skill, getting creative and making friends at the same time. 

Why not join me on one of my Needle Felting Courses, either in Birmingham or Tamworth. No experience required, and I guarantee you’ll have a great time ….. and leave with something created by you!

Love Your Phone, Love Your Phone Cover!

They used to be the size of a house brick, weigh half a ton and have a battery life of approximately 30 minutes.  Nowadays our mobile phones are sleek machines, light as a feather and capable of more than the average PC.

We rely on our phones to send text messages, take photographs, make notes, play games, check the weather forecast …. and yes, even to make and receive phone calls!  

Mobile phone accessories are big business too.  Whether bling is your thing, or a more executive leather-look, we spend a small fortune on phone cases, charms and even customised chargers are now starting to appear on the market. 

Why not be kind to your phone – and your pocket – and take a peek at our range of mobile phone cases.  Handmade with a vintage twist, you’ll stand out from the crowd instead of being one of the flock.

Bye Bye Summer, Hello Autumn

It’s hard to believe that we’ve reached the end of August already.  The kids are ready to go back to school, the trees are starting to don their autumnal coats and clothing ranges in shops are featuring more cardigans than swimsuits ….. yes, autumn is upon us already!

So far, 2013 has been a great year for Tigerlily Makes.  With new ventures such as the Handmade Boutique in Birmingham, new branding and lots and lots of happy crafters joining the felty flock we can’t complain. 

Autumn promises to be just as hectic, with a plethora of courses planned - http://ow.ly/onODZ , and of course the festive season to prepare for.   As with all retail businesses, we also have our Christmas campaign to roll out, as well as new products constantly being added to the Tigerlily range and new designs being worked on.

Here’s to the new season, and thank you for your support.

Work/Life Balance – A Walk In The Park!

Running your own enterprise can be a stressful experience at times.  It’s easy to work very long days without a break and skip such delights as weekends and holidays in favour of “the business”.

Technology doesn’t help the plight of the entrepreneur either: Phones make it possible to stay connected 24/7 – even after the PC has been turned off, we can still pick up emails, check Twitter and Facebook etc long into the night when we should be putting ourselves and our families first.

With this in mind, it’s been a real delight to take the occasional lunch time walk.  Planned into the day, a brief spell away from the workplace in the middle of the day gives us a chance to clear our minds and take in some fresh air.  I’ve actually felt more productive after a spot of lunchtime walking than when I work non-stop all through the day.

Try it for yourself – you will feel much better afterwards!

 

Princess Lily enjoys some lunchtime fresh air!

Home Comforts and Felt Slippers!

Gooooooood morning my lovely felt fans!  Today’s question is all about footwear – how many pairs of shoes do you own?  Of those pairs of shoes, how many do you actually wear on a regular basis, and how many are truly 100% comfortable?

Yes, every day we squeeze our toes into pointy shoes, often with a heel and grimace our way through the day.  For many of us, that first action upon arriving home of kicking off the shoes and the initial “aaaaaggggghhhhhhh” of comfort signals the beginning of the evening – a time to relax and repair, in readiness for doing it all again the next morning.

As we near autumn, the evening temperatures begin to drop and the shops fill with racks of slippers: mules, moccasins, slip-ons, fully soled, open toed ….. you name it, there’s a slipper manufactured in that style! 

What could be more rewarding than treating your toes to the comfort of a pair of felt slippers, handmade by YOU!  Following a basic slipper design, but customised and personalised to your taste, join me on 16^th November at Hobbycraft Tamworth to make your own pair of felt slippers.  With only 8 places per course, it’s also a great opportunity to take some time out for yourself, meet like-minded crafters and enjoy a day of creativity and socialising.   There’s even tea and cake!

 

To book your place on the Felt Slippers Course, follow this link  - http://ow.ly/o5i4m - you could even make a pair for someone special as a unique Christmas gift!

Featured Kit this Week Dilly Dally Daisy Tea Cosy Kit

Well hello felt fans, happy Monday to you all! Today I thought I would share with you one of our most desired kits the Dilly Dally Tea Cosy Kit.

With the Royal Wedding, Jubilee, Olympics and of course the Royal birth, there really has never been a better time to participate in our quintessentially "British" tradition of a right good cuppa! Made in a very proper way with tea pot and kept warm in a beautifully handmade by you felt tea cosy, what could be a better way to spend time with you friends and family than over the great tradition of afternoon tea.

So with that said I thought I would leave you with a little video on our lovely Dilly Dally Daisy kit.

But for now keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting :)

Dolly's Ready To Peg Hand Painted Pegs

Hello lovelies and a very warm welcome to the latest edition of the Tigerlily Makes blog at the Top of Tigerlily Towers or TT as I like to call it.

Today I thought I would share the first in a few blogs about some of the brand new ready to purchase ranges here at Tigerlily Towers. Tigerlily Makes has grown and developed and awful lot of the past 4 years since its start up and I feel that TT has now become a recognised brand of quality kits and home/lifestyle products. The customer feedback and feedback I have received at shows, events and indeed the Handmade Boutique confirms that too.

So lets kick this season of lifestyle products off with Dolly's Ready To Peg, Wooden Dolly Pegs. These are lovingly hand painted by me with beautiful hand painted polka dots on. They grew out of my popular Regalily Peg Bag Kits, which then grew into a customer demand of wanting the readymade and ready to use version, so with the vintage style and feelings of nostalgia, it made sense to have the hand painted pegs as the perfect partner. Each Peg Bag is sold complete with a set of 6 and the pegs are available to purchase separately to use with the felt making kit.

So let me leave you with some of the pegs and peg bags.
