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.

Pudding Time!
Good
morning and a massive High Five to all you festive felt fans out there!
I’ve
been doing a fair amount of pop-up shops and shows over the past few weeks and
one thing that has been selling incredibly well from my Christmas range are the
little felt Christmas Puddings. Whether
the Great British Bake Off has made everyone go ga ga for puds, or whether
people are just getting back to tradition I have no idea, but the felt puddings
are a sure-fire hit this year.
But
did you know …..
- Christmas pudding originated as a 14th century porridge called 'frumenty' that was made of beef and mutton with raisins, currants, prunes, wines and spices. This would often be more like soup and was eaten as a fasting meal in preparation for the Christmas festivities
- By 1595, frumenty was slowly changing into a plum pudding, having been thickened with eggs, breadcrumbs, dried fruit and given more flavour with the addition of beer and spirits
- By Victorian times, Christmas Puddings had changed into something similar to the ones that are eaten today
- Putting a silver coin in the pudding is an age-old custom that is said to bring luck to the person that finds it
So, why don't you make your own needle felted pudding for the tree with our Christmas Pudding kit priced at just £10.00 complete with everything you need to get started and
keep up the British tradition!

Pining For A Pin Cushion?
I recently made some pin cushions, inspired by the chocolate
box houses of the fishing village Aberaeron – and I can’t believe the
response they’ve received!

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.

New Product shoot for Kits, Courses and Handmade...
Hello lovely peeps... well what can I say other than I have been a busy, busy bee with so much going on over the last 12 months! I hardly know where to start.
Well after many, many positive and wonderful comments about my glorious felt kits, courses and handmade ranges... I also heard that my picture representations in other words my photos, just didn't show off how glorious the designs are in real life.
With that feed back and after 30+ years creating and 4 solid years designing the current range... I decided it was time for action! So I set too and enlisted the help of an amazing photographer. It makes such a huge difference to the representation of designs that I wondered why I didn't do it before.
So one sunny morning in late June the wonderful Sara Moseley AKA The Great Little Picture Company arrived with the larges camera and lens I have ever seen! With in a "flash" if you pardon the pun we were underway with the photo shoot. A little over an hour later we had the most wonderful collection of photos and within 24 hours they arrived electronically for me to use.
I have selected some of my favourites for you to peruse and many more can be viewed on the website and facebook page.

Bowdalicious Slippers and slippertastic slipper making courses.
Well hello there lovely makers, creators and all round lovely people! Today I thought I would share with you another pair of finished slipper samples following a recent slipper course... introducing Bowdalicious hand felted slippers.
The slipper course is one of my favourite courses I just love the end result and the fact that you can actually wear them too is most appealing... though I have to admit, I do like to make them just to have sat next to the fire or on the stairs as pretty decoration!
I also wanted to share with you a recent new find in the form of the handmade buttons that I have used to embellish and complete the look. These stunning buttons have been handmade by a lovely lady called Skye of Button It in the Isle of Lewis, not Isle of Skye as I blundered in my courses video blog below! Skye is a wonderfully creative lady and we met quite by accident and have been sharing our creations and working together ever since. Skye has a keen eye for colour, design and also has a little daring streak in her, by putting together combinations that are fun and quirky too. I will share more of her collection in the coming weeks as I now have rather a gorgeous stash and growing collection of Button It buttons.
But for now I will leave you with the finished slippers adorned with beautiful buttons and to say keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting :)

Over
the coming weeks we will be uploading regular videos covering a wide variety of
topics covering anything from what we are all about to tips and advice on your
felting and crafting dilemmas.
We
have already begun giving product reviews not just on our own but products but we will be reviewing products
that Tigerlily Makes owner Lisa Marie Olson has experience with.
We
will also be having a basic question and answers slot bi-monthly and you can
put your crafty queries to Lisa via email: info@tigerlilymakes.co.uk
So we thought we would get the ball rolling with one of our complete project needle felting kits.

Wet Felted Needle Embellished Pictures Courses
Well
hello and wonderful woolly welcomes to our latest blog post.
Today I
wanted to share some fun pictures from a recent felt pictures course, that highlight the very exciting and changing nature
of felt.
Pictured
above are the dry stages of creating pictures with some of the lovely ladies on
one of my courses - you may have seen
the group and finished pictures posts on other blog entries.
We will
be charting their progress and outcomes over the next couple of weeks and some
of the stages involved in the process.
If you
fancy trying your hand at felting, why not browse the courses on offer on our website.
Our pictures course has now been upgraded to include option machine embroidery if desired. Our next felt pictures course is on Saturday 7th September.
But for now keeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

Stop press kitty sits on lap for first time!
Hello lovely makers, creators and all round lovely people!! Well forgive me for a second kitty post this week, but after yesterday's post about our rescue kitty and not being a lap cat... Well knock me down with a feather!!! Our lovely moggy has sat on my lap for the first time today!!
So here I am getting ready wrapped in my bath towel and I literally have to freeze as Sox paws her way onto my lap, a little hesitation follows and then... Ta dah!!! She sits for a fully 10 minutes!! Sadly I twitched my toe and she shot off!!
But nonetheless this is a fanfare and milestone moment for our 5 year old princess!!
Have a great day everyone!
