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

Ooooo lovely wheat free cup cakes specially made for me...

Good morning lovely people, I just wanted to share with you a wonderfully kind and warm gesture one of my felt-making ladies made on Saturday.

Pictured above is the best tasting wheat free cup cake I have ever tasted, Mary whom has been on two of my courses and is planning a third,  like me wheat intolerant and very often has to do with out as I do when others are tucking into their tasty treats. 

With a determination not to miss out Mary decided that she would bake her own and very kindly brought 2 into the boutique for me to try... I have to say I was sooooo excited and overwhelmed that I had to eat one of them there and then.

They certainly did not disappoint on taste texture and overall gastronomic experience.  Thank you Mary

More glorious bag making in the boutique...

Kathy's Bag

Well good morning everyone, apologies for not blogging for a couple of days... its been rather busy at the boutique.  

Pictured above is Kathy with her completed bag, Kathy had never done any felt-making before coming on the  bag making course and has produced a fantastic bag to be proud of and that she can use.  Thank you Kathy for your company, it was a great fun day.

Kathy is not the only newbie felt-maker to have chosen this bag shape to make... it is one of my newly designed shapes and has been very popular with the lovely ladies that have been on the course.

The bag making courses have been incredibly popular and I am selling out of weekend places.

To book your place on Tigerlily Makes course please contact Lisa on 0845 543 9046 or email: info@tigerlilymakes.co.uk

Slipper course was a hoot!!

Liz & Emma making felt slippers

Christine & Rachelle making felt slippers

Good morning everyone, well its another bright and sunny morning following another fabulous felt-making day in  boutique.

Yesterday was the felt slipper course and my special thanks go out to, Christine, Rachelle, Emma and Elizabeth for making the day so enjoyable. We drank lots of lovely teas, ate lots of lovely cakes and laughed so much, that I think people may have thought we were on the happy pills!

Three of the lovely ladies had never felted before, whilst Elizabeth had done some flat felting some years ago but had not done anything 3 dimensional.  All four ladies produced outstanding results. I will be bringing more pics of their fab makes at a later stage. 

This weeks classes include Thursdays Bag/Tea Cosy/Hot Water Bottle and Saturdays Class is making a 3D Vessel/Bowl 

There are still places left on these classes so to book please call 0845 543 9046 or email: info@tigerlilymakes.co.uk

News from The Felt-making Boutique...

Lindsay's Bag

Ronald Racoon

Hi everyone, well its been a busy few days at the boutique and I still have lots to do before tomorrows slipper class.

Just thought I would share one of my ladies makes from yesterday's bag making course pictured top. Lindsay had never done any felt making before and has created this amazing finished bag.  We had such a great day and I am so thankful to be doing what I am doing and sharing this with so many wonderful and special people.

Pictured below is Ronald Raccoon as named by one of Tigerlily Makes customers, this lovely young lady bought this Raccoon kit to take home and make and this is the end result... isn't it fantastic!

Well back to it as I have slipper course notes to finish.

Lemon Sherbet Sorbet Felted Bowl has found a new home.....

Well good morning everyone and what a wonderfully sunny and bright morning it is.  This weekend was another busy one for me... another amazing and felttastic bag/tea cosy making course.

I also had a lot of lovely customers call into the boutique one of whom bought my Lemon Sherbert Felted Bowl.  This was one of my favorites so was thrilled that someone admired it enough to give it a new home.

I will be back tomorrow with more news and sneak peaks to share with you.

Another felttastic bag/tea cosy making day in the felt boutique... oh and lots of lovely cakes

Adele's fabulous tea cosy

Pat's felttastic bag

Morning everyone, wow what a wonderful day we all had yesterday at the felt boutique... my very special thanks go out to Sue, Pat, Adele and Liz whom made the day truly special.  We didn't stop laughing all day long.  We chatted and ate scrumptious cakes provided by Cupcakes & Peonies which I have to say haven't been rivaled by any other.

I will be featuring more makes from the day in a later post but for now pictured top to bottom: Adele's superb tea cosy and Pat's felttastic bag.  None of the ladies on yesterday's course had ever felted before and some had not done anything crafty before either.   However all of the ladies on yesterday's course produced excellent results with finished items that they can now be proud to use.

So if you fancy having a go at your own unique creation don't hesitate to contact me: info@tigerlilymakes.co.uk absolutely no experience is necessary and you don't need to be artistic to be able to produce truly fantastic results.

So come on in and enjoy the magic that Tigerlily Makes.

New Bag Shape made at bag making course

Good morning .lovely people, well I did promise you photos from the bag making course but as mentioned in a previous post I forgot to take some before the ladies went home with their bags.

This is the bag I made to show the lovely ladies on my course how to make a bag... I then added the extra felt embellishments yesterday to finish it.

The shape is yet another of several new bag shapes that I have been designing recently and more previews will be coming of some of them over the coming weeks.

This is also a bag that will be available for purchase on Easter Bank Holiday Monday.

Well back to it I am making a tea cosy today.

Spring is coming and the daisy is back...

I everyone, just thought I would give you a sneak peek at one of my newly designed bags that I have made in preparation for Easter Bank Holiday Monday.  I will have a few of this design in different colours available to buy on the day.

Though I am only tempting you with just a snippet of the whole design until its official launch.

I have organised more lovely felt-making course dates and these will be going up on the web very soon... I will be back later to post the list here on the blog.

Purple Passion Felted Bowl gets lots of attention...

Hi everyone, well we have seen the end of week 3 and we are now at the start of week 4 in the felt boutique. I thought I would share with you a felt bowl that I made as a sample for custom orders, though it has been getting rather a lot of attention in the boutique and I am sure that I could have sold it several times over. almost everyone who has come in has commented on it and asked if it is for sale.

I guess I thought when setting up the shop that people would be more interested in making it... which they are, but there has been a large number of people expressing a sincere interest to purchase a felted item.  So with that in mind I have been busily making in anticipation of my official opening, sneak peeks to come on those later.

Well its actually my day off today, but I am at home busy doing admin and boring stuff so that I can create when I return to the boutique tomorrow :)
