The Rewarding Side Of Courses

Organising training courses and workshops for all the legions of felt lovers can sometimes be a logistical challenge.  Venues need to be sourced, costs negotiated, materials and instructions prepared …..  and once all that’s sorted, there’s the small matter of getting people to attend!

I love the diversity of what I do.  My true passion, as you all know, is for all types of felted crafts, but I also have also held card making workshops as well as other craft disciplines too.  I love the flexibility and creativity of my work – thinking of new designs and seeing those designs turns into new kits or handmade ranges. 

Having said all of that, one of the most rewarding things of all, for me, is seeing those who have been on one of my courses proudly displaying whatever it is they’ve made on the day.

If you’ve never browsed it before, please just take a moment out of your day to look through my customer gallery – the sense of pride and accomplishment just leaps off the screen!

Details of all of my course can be found here – you never know:  you could be next in the Tigerlily Makes Customer Gallery!

Made to order range now launched...

Wow well where do I start! There are so many exciting new things happening and going on here at Tigerlily Towers, the "Made to Order Range",  new felt courses added to our courses page, new Lily Lamb kit coming in the spring and a new ready made designs! Phew, think I need to sit down!

So I thought I might share one of the new sections and services now available on our "Brand New Website"... have I mentioned this before? I think I may have  (giggle giggle).

One of the frustrations that I had with my previous website, was that it was so costly and time consuming to update with new products or new categories. This meant that when demand was high for ready made versions of my kit samples and I needed to experiment with the ranges to gauge customer interest... I simply couldn't, because I didn't have the appropriate platform to show case them on. Well luckily I do now!

The "Bespoke" range or the "Made to Order range is a section on my website where you can have a number of my designs made to order or to your own specifications. This means that whilst you may have to wait a little longer you have greater flexibility in the finished item.

So I will bid you farewell for now, until next time and leave you with one of the made to order designs. But in the meantime keeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

The Vintage Emporium - Wrapped Bagged and Tagged...

Hello and a very, very warm, woolly and fully felted welcome to the latest edition of the Tigerlily Makes Blog.  Todays post is brought to you by Chief Feltrepreneur Lisa Marie Olson (that's just me! lol)

So I am very excited to be sharing with you today a lovely independent designer/maker team, The Vintage Emporium - Wrapped Bagged and Tagged who have recently purchased some of TM's lovely ethically sourced high quality felting wools! Buying felting wools is not an oddity in my business, but what is really special is what some of our lovely customers create with their woolly bundles.

Well I had Karen one half of this dynamic duo contact me about buying some wool, we exchanged info and a purchase of the bumper pack of wools was made, out it went and within less than a week Karen set to work on a bespoke vintage piece.  So when Karen pointed me to her stunning work that she had created with the merino wool pack I just HAD!!! to share!

So I will leave you with her work pictured below, but do pop by her page and give her a like and a big cheery wave from me, you will not be disappointed and you can find all the info you need there.
