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

Lily the Lamb - Lily's Bonnets - Room Decor Wall Art

Very woolly welcomes to our blog post today. we are talking Lily the Lamb room decor/wall art again, though a very different design.

So as with the other room decor in this range, the design has been beautifully transferred onto superior quality papers. Lily's Bonnets has been made in a slightly differentl way, as we are using the whole of the scene to fill the mount area.

This then has a hand cut secondary lamb mounted to it, to give more of a dimensional feel.

I think it would look super cute in any 

nursery.

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!

Time for Tea & Cake Felt Greetings Card

Welcome, welcome and welcome to the latest slice of the Tigerlily Makes blog.

We are all about cake today, felt cake actually which is great as it is totally calorie and fat free!

As many of you will know I have done this design before, though this time I wanted to add something a little extra and re-invent the design.

The key difference here is that the cake wedge has been stitched directly onto the buff card, I love stitching paper onto card and I think it has given it that something extra. A little more dimension and interest. Its then finished with beautiful flat back pearls and a printed sentiment.

Need we say more about this other than, here it is!

Introducing Pennie Penguin

Welcome to the latest edition of the TM blog, straight from the top of Tigerlily Towers

Today we are introducing one of our newest characters Miss Pennie Penguin.  Miss Pennie Penguin has a loving heart and a calm nature. Her door is always open and there is always a pot of tea on the go and very often a nice slice of cake.

Though it hasn't always been plain sailing for Pennie, as a young fledgling penguin, she very often got teased as she is slightly cross eyed and wears glasses.

Now Pennie is fully grown, she is a protector of all the new fledgling penguins and keeps a careful eye out for any unnecessary teasing.

Pennie is a needle felted sculpture, who has been lovingly created by hand with a single felting needle. Though I can promise you that until Pennies eyes went in, she had not come to life, so please be assured that no harm has come to Pennie during her creation, she will not have felt... if you pardon the pun a thing.

You can make your very own Pennie or other needle felted animals on our felt making days. www.tigerlilymakes.co.uk

So really the only thing left to do is introduce you to our Pennie herself.

Lily Lamb Fabric has arrived

Hello and a very warm and extremely woolly edition of the Tigerlily Makes blog. Its a very exciting time for us here at Lily the Lamb HQ and Tigerlily Towers.

I  have recently taken delivery of the first full fabric lengths with some of the Lily the Lamb designs on them and I can't tell you what a tremendous excitement it is. Lily the Lamb is the much loved and adored mascot for Tigerlily Makes  and has been growing in design and momentum for quite some time now.

So as the designs have grown, so has the number of gorgeous quality products available in the official Lily the Lamb range.

I have initially ordered the fabric to create patterns and finished items to add to the range but as I develop the different Lily Lamb characters more and expand my other designer ranges,  I hope to be bringing you fabric to buy by the meter, half meter and fat quarters for your personal home projects.

I would love to know what your first thoughts are  and will bring you more news when the first range of fabrics has been created.

Without further delay here they are!

Watch this space for some beautiful projects using these adorable designs.

Craft & Hobby Association Supports Members at Craft, Hobby & Stitch International

Well what can I say lovely people... mmmm, well I did say that I was going to do more regular blog posts and start scheduling again! Yeah and then preparations for stitch international started and that clearly went out the door.

That said I can now bring you some exciting highlights into how the show went, the wonderful designers I met and the fabulous support I have received by being a member of the CHA UK (Craft & Hobby Association).

As an independent designer working out of my home studio, I am often working alone and that means that I don't have work colleagues to run things by or bounce ideas with. Being part of the CHA UK has meant that I am part of a growing community of talented designers, with a wealth of experience in their specialist field. We've all experienced ups and downs with in our specialist fields, so its great to share experiences, tips and knowledge, give and gain support and that's just from our fellow members.

Aside this,  board of directors is at your fingers to help problem solve, trouble shoot and support you in growing and developing your business. Connecting you to the right people and providing  opportunities to grow, develop, learn, educate, inspire and so much more. I cannot recommend this organisation enough. I quite simply couldn't have been at this huge event, without the support of this organisation.

The show itself, alongside all the wonderful designers and the organisation was a huge success for me. I secured many business leads and new partnerships, as well as obtaining vital resources to move my business forward. With all that said I would like to share some of the highlights from the show and members who attended.

My stand.

Time for Tea... Hand Felted Tea Pot

Well its time to talk TEA and more importantly TEA POTS today on the TM blog. My favorite topic and as I am sure you know by now I LOVE tea, tea pots and all things related to tea, in particularly vintage tea pots. 

This hand felted tea pot has been designed by yours truly and is completely seamless! NO sewing involved. It is part of the upcoming tea themed range and already complements Tilly's Tea Cups my hand felted selection of beautifully shaped and styled tea cups.  

I can't wait to get designing and making the rest of this range, so stay tuned for new tea themed designs and designs that are unique to Tigerlily Makes!

For now though keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep felting!

Happy New Year & The Year Ahead

Welcome to the very first Tigerlily Makes blog edition of the year, all though I haven't posted in a really long time,... I thought I would start as I mean to go on and start scheduling my posts again.

Brand new ranges and designs are underway such as the new Lily the Lamb fabrics and other exciting projects.

In addition to this I will be designing some brand new workshops and sourcing some brand new venues as well as looking to grow brand Lily Lamb into a wide variety of mediums, as well as attending more events. So watch this space for more newsy news.

For now I wish you all a very happy 2016 with prosperous and creative opportunities.
