Tigerlily Makes Celebrating 1 year of Felt-making Success

Well hello lovely makers and creators its official, I have been in the boutique exactly 1 year today and what a year its been... over 50 felt-making days and over 200 fabulous hand felted projects from over 200 wonderful customers. Whoop Whoop its been absolutely marvelous!!  I am in the process of putting together a little slide show of all the wonderful projects that have been made over the year so watch out for that :)

We will be celebrating on the 9th April with a fantastic  Charity fundraising day with free demonstrations from specialists in felt-making, creative stitched textiles and knitting.

Fabulous raffle prizes are flooding in from very generous supporters including St Giles themselves who have supplied a fab hamper full of goodies plus lots of other lovely goodies.

Messing around at Tea Time!

Morning everyone... so heres the first of the "Tea Time range and my first prototype... I have been working on a new range of tea cosy's amongst other things to try and improve on my painting with fibre skills!!

This was my first attempt at this kind of style and looking at it now, it could do with some improvement.  I am drawing a range of pictures which I aim to use as designs on my felted items so I have decided to practice a little more before releasing any for sale to the public.  On reflection I feel that the tea cup is not sculpted enough and not centered enough, but thats the great thing about fibre its trial and error.

Well back to it more preparation for my opening.

New "Senorita Maria" bag...

Morning everyone and what a lovely morning it is... well I know I should be posting some photos from yesterdays bag course, however in all the fun I forgot to take some pics!! Fortunately Mary and Michelle had such a great time yesterday they are bringing their bags back on the jewellery course to make bag brooches, so we will see them then.

So in the meantime this is one of my latest designs and bag shapes, I named her so as she reminded me of those Spanish flamenco dancers.

Well best get back to it I have yesterdays bag and a hot water bottle cover to finish.

A Change to Felt-making Course List...

Hi everyone,
due to the overwhelming interest in the beginners bag/tea cosy course and because requests have been coming in for the week day beginners bag courses I feel it only fair to my customers to change the Beginners Jewellery on the 25th March to Beginners Bags.

This is the only week day Beginners Bag/tea cosy course this month, more week day courses will be added next month.

For more course info please visit Tigerlily Makes
