Update on progress.......

Hi everyone,

I just thought I would share how progress is going for the launch of the new felt-making boutique. I have been over at the boutique most of this last week and have begun phase one, which is the re-decoration phase. This week with a little help from my friends I have finished the painting of all the half height wood panelling, which has been painted in a colour called white chocolate. I have chosen a very pale subtle duck egg blue for the window ledge, window and door.

All is looking really fresh and fab... though I have a long way to go yet, as I need to paper feature walls, polish floors and move furniture in.

I am popping over again tmrw briefly to take some photos of progress so far, though it is filled with paint tins, brushes and rollers and present, but it should give you a feel for the place.

I will be firming up some course dates very soon and will be posting these on the blog... so be sure to stay tuned for news and events.

Thanks you for taking the time to visit The Handmade by Tigerlily Blog

Daisy Doodles Dotty Seamless Felted Handbag

Hi everyone, I thought today I would show case one of my felted bags, felting is one of my favourite past times and you will see it featured amongst many mediums quite a lot over the coming weeks. This is one of my latest additions to my Folksy store and features my passion for daisies, though daisies are not my only passion when it comes to flowers.

I also wanted to use my blog as a platform for other handmade finds and sellers, so if you have a handmade shop email me details and I may be able to feature your shop along with other finds that month.

Next week I will be featuring soap makers, jewellery makers and much more so stay tuned.
