Well hello and a very, very warm, woolly and fully felted welcome to Fridays blog post. Today I wanted to share a little video blog all about the Regalily's Washy Wash Days felted Peg Bag felt making kit.
The video blog covers the finished sample, the key design features and hints and tips, it forms part of one of my most favourite ranges the Regalily Range and is available online now. You won't be disappointed with this one, it always gains such adoration and has already become a popular kit.
But or now keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

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 :)

Button It's designer lives on the beautiful Isle of Lewis and creates a whole host of beautiful things. Lisa & Skye from Button It have known each other for quite some time, interacting and admiring each others designs.

Todays Featured Artist at the Flutterby Art Boutique
Hello lovely makers and creators we we have another treat for you today as we feature another talented artist at the fabulous Flutterby Art Boutique run by Kate Williams bringing local talent together.

Today we feature Pat Wilkes and this is what Pat has to say about her creative journey...
"I have been
crafting from a very early age, my mom taught me how to knit and crochet and I
love anything creative. Over the years I have made jewellery, cards, scrapbooks
and also textile projects. I still make cards and jewellery but tend to have
settled on the keepsake and gift market.
My passion
at the moment is vintage linens and vintage wooden items which can be up cycled
and made into something unique and beautiful, giving them a new life in this
modern world. I think I am at my happiest when I am creating a new piece, but I
can be my own worst critic like most creative people.
I am so
happy to now have some of my stock at the Flutterby Art Boutique at CurboroughCraft Centre something I never thought would ever happen, a complete dream come
true."

International Craft Hobby & Stitch Trade Show
Hello lovely makers, creators and all round lovely people... my apologies for being a little on the quiet side this week! BUT!! as you can probably guess from today's blog title, we have been at the ICHF show for 3 days, which has been mega full on!
I have to say that it was only this time last year that I did my first ever trade show, I was a little nervous to begin with, but soon was put at ease by the amazing wonderfully warm and encouraging comments that were made about my designs, stand and by the orders that came in.
Well this year we were back having only been supplying to the trade for just one short year and having learnt so much along the way!
Oh my goodness, as I said last year was brill, but this year was even better!! We had a full on packed stand for the most part of the show and literally 100s per day visited. So I thought I wold share a few pictures of my stand so you can see for yourself what people loved about it.
We worked very hard this year to make sure that we carried out our timeless classic and very vintage style all the way through to our stand display.
What really was the icing on the cake... was to see my old City and Guilds Tutor who came to see us and the stand, to see her sooo proud of what I had achieved from that course to this was just so, so humbling. Thank you Brenda for all your support then and now at The Old Needle Works, where you are exhibiting my work!! Thank YOU!
Hope you like as much as we do.
But for now!! Keeeeeeeeeeeep felting :)
