the beginning of felt....

A bit of the felting process! I actually haven't got the final product up loaded yet, but will get it here shortly. I made this one after I went to the Botanical Gardens and saw all the tulips on show....its the first felt that I have made that has some sort of picture involved...not sure how comfortable I am with that! ha ha, will have some more nice felt on here soon :)

A felted adventure

For my mum, however modelled by myself as mum was not wearing clothing with appropriate colours!I didn't think rainbow thermals quite complemented this shawl/scarf/cape! This was wet felted, merino and silk, yummy colour mix from the Hand Dyers, Spinners and Weavers Guild of Tasmania, Claret from the same lovely ladies! My favourite shawl dimensions so far, just the right thickness to save you from that little nip in the Spring wind, especially in Hobart at the moment!

Spring is in the air!

I must admit that these were not all taken this year! and I am not sure if they were all taken in the spring, but they look pretty! Happy Spring! My favourite season.

'Floral' Aprons!

Well, here I go again! I did these aprons for a friend at work, my first paid Job I think! She asked for floral and this is what I gave her! But she was happy. I couldn't bear all the awful quilting florals in the shop, no offence to those who love floral! I just couldn't see past yuck, I am sure there were nice ones buried in there somewhere! These were another new design, I think I still like wearing the other type more (the french theme and red striped ones from a couple of blogs ago), but these were quite nice as they incorporate the pleat, which was a request from the person who is hopefully enjoying them now!
