Tigerlily Makes & Lily Lamb take a concession at newly opened Bespoke Lichfield

Well its been a while lovely felt and lamb folk... lots and lots to share with you on this very woolly addition to the the TM blog!

So, I know, I said I was going to schedule posts again and post more often and I did manage it for a little while... but then a very special and dear friend Angie Burman AKA Burman Bears invited me to apply for a concession of retail space right in the heart of Lichfield known as Bespoke Lichfiled. 

Having worked with Angie previously I knew this would be an exceptionally well run establishment with fairness and transparency to all.

Angie has in my opinion, curated the cream of the crop of designers to be a part of this permanent prime retail development. Her methodical approach to the set up and how this designer lead venture will be navigated... makes for smooth sailing from the moment the customer walks in the door, to the second they leave with their original and bespoke purchases.

The first day was an absolutely joy and I was lucky enough to share in the opening day with Angie and her husband Andrew.

The shop has a really lovely feel about it and its carefully thought out interior, created the most amazing and positive atmosphere. This positive atmosphere not only in the shop, but among the designers will lead on to many more positive things... as we all grow our businesses, having Angie at the helm and steering us all in the right direction.

I am just beyond proud to be a part of this elite group.

Please pop i and support our local designers its 1A Market Street Lichfield, of Bird Street and just around the corner from the George Hotel!

For now though I will leave you with a peak at our very Dickensian looking shop frontage! To see more just click ahead to my Fanpage!

Lily the Lamb - Lily the Pink Handmade Cushion

Welcome to a very lamby edition of the TM blog, live for Lamb HQ. 

Originating from Wales and having a steep Welsh family heritage, I have always love the great outdoors. I have also had a life long passion for all things woolly in particular sheep, spending nearly all of my child hood holidays in Welsh Wales, we spent a lot of time in the mountains, Beacons and on many walks. Feeding the sheep was one of mine and my brothers favorite past times.

So its no surprise really that these lamby designs have come to fruition.

Lily the Pink was one of the very first repeat designs to evolve and I just couldn't wait to get her onto fabric.

Once the fabric arrived and was itching to get making and am absolutely thrilled with how the design works with sewn projects.

take a look for yourself.

Louis the Lamb - Room Decor/Wall Art

Louis Lamb has come to play and Louis Lamb wants to say, "my new wall art is fantastic and a great one for the boys". 

Once again I found myself printing of Louis Lamb patterns onto superior quality and designing a dungarees template, that was inspired by a pair of Micky Mouse dungarees my son wore when he was a baby. 

I wanted to create a unique shape for dungarees as boys room decor can be a bit hit and miss as can boys clothing. 

Here it is, I think this is a great way to bring some art to a baby boys bedroom. 

                                                                                                                                                                                               
                 All of the new room decor designs are available in my Etsy store.

Lily the Lamb - Lily the Pink Room Decor/Wall Art

The Wonderfully warm welcomes to this latest edition of the TM blog. 

Since launching the Lily Lamb range which I absolutely adore and love, I am always looking for creative ways in which to show her off to her full potential. 

Not only is she on a wide variety of mediums, such as colouring books, coasters, magnets, mirrors, notebooks and fabric, she has now moved into paper. 

When these designs and patterns were created, they were created with a view to being suitable to be printed onto any medium and so I was absolutely thrilled when I saw the first printed paper sheets.

I started of with Lily the pink and thought how I could create fun lamb themed room decor with a difference. So as I have just started creating a whole range of baby clothing with Lily the Lamb fabrics, the penny dropped and so I set about designing clothing themed room decor with the lily lamb design.

I digitally designed a dress template to begin with taking inspiration from the traditional pinafore dress I used to wear as a child, but incorporating scalloped edging... which is a much loved staple in all my ranges. This was then teamed with a top/t shirt template, featuring scalloped edging to the sleeves.

The two combined with hand coloured detailing mounted perfectly in the shadow frame.

So here is the finished room decor/wall art, I think this would sit beautifully in any nursery or young child's bedroom.

If you would like to own your very own, you can purchase it from my Etsy Store

Tea at the Ritz Lily Lamb Cushion

A wonderfully warm and woolly welcome to this another lamby edition of the TM blog. We are bringing you this post with thought of being high up in the mountains where sheep roam and our green land shines!

In short I just wanted to bring you another cushion made up with the another new Lily the Lamb design. This one is called Tea at the Ritz, because Lily loves nothing more than putting on her best frock and taking afternoon tea at The Ritz with her family. Its a feast to behold, beautiful sandwiches a choice of teas and some gorgeous artisan cakes. Mmmm Yum!

This is the larger scale design, which works really well on big cushions, though the final repeat print will be scaled down so that you can get more Lily per inch, so to speak. Take a look at the smaller scale pic at the end of the post. 

for now though I will let the fabric do the talking!

Lily Lamb & Plans for 2015

Well hello and a lovely warm and cosy welcome this December edition of the Tigerlily Makes blog. I thought I might share with you  plans for moving forward into 2015 and the decisions behind the directions we are headed.

With 2014 nearly behind us I can tell you that is has been one of my most difficult years to date, both personally and professionally. I have had to work tirelessly and constantly both in balancing my personal and professional life, to maintain the standard everyone loves and knows about Tigerlily Makes designs.

I fell in love with felting several years ago now, having come from a needle work and textile arts background at the age of 13, textiles have always been my first love.

I had aimed to make felting my living, but in actual fact a small needle felted lamb called Lily has really paved the way for a much bigger and unique concept in the design process. Lily Lamb's initial role was to become the official Tigerlily Makes mascot and branding.  Little did I know then how much she would naturally grow and develop into what she is today... a much loved character with many guises, fitting perfectly into a wider product range.

So it makes perfect sense to me to be lead by where Lily is destined to be, in early 2015 I will be leaving the Handmade Boutique's to focus on Lily the Lamb, her very own website currently up and running... as well as growing and developing her product range.  I will slowly be winding Tigerlily Makes up and focus on Lily Lamb.

I will be starting the new year, by writing and developing the very first 2 short picture story books in a series of books. The books will aim to appeal to both parents and children containing fun characters but leaning towards problem solving situations and life lessons.

I have already begun to source and work with some manufacturers on developing and marketing the range further and will be meeting with some of the UK's biggest manufactures in early 2015. Whilst I focus on building this range I hope to offer a smaller personalised Lily Lamb range online whilst Lily is charming her way through the UK.

So I guess the key is to learn to adapt and change with the demands of the market place. So watch this space and we will keep you posted.

But for now keeeeeeep lambing!

Introducing Princess Lily the Lamb...

Welcome lovli makers and creators and generally lovli people, today I thought I would share a little something more about me, my name and my history.

Its all in a name: Lily obviously derives from the flower Lily but also means innocent, graceful, beautiful, loyal, smart, and pure. These are atributes that are required when carrying out my right royal adventures, going about my duties in an honourable and respectful way with grace and dignity

Our family history has been traced back so far to 1833, but it is believed to date back as far as the 16th century with some right royal connections. We will keep you posted as developments arrise. We come from a long line of agricultural workers and miners… so it’s really no surprise to me that we have such strong woolly connections. The family moved to the midlands over 40 years ago to find work in the staffordshire area and fell in love with the county.

So heres a picture of me as I am... a "Herman Teddy Toy" and my alter ego preserved timlessly in digital format, you will see the digitised version of myself on all our kit boxes and co-ordinating marketing. You will also hear from me from time to time as I go about my duties and travels and share news and updates with you from around the country and maybe even further afield!

Well I had better dash mummy is calling so I had better be a good little lamb and get back to my duties. Will be sharing some more adventures very soon. Thank you for visiting and come back soon.

Today’s post was brought to you by Lisa Marie Olson on behalf of Princess Lily the Lamb
