It's been a long time.....

Well, its been a long time since I last posted, but I will be blogging regularly from now on. I've been spending all my spare time making felty things for my stall for the Supercrop, which took place on Sunday. Here's my stall. I didn't take the photo until about half way through, so a few things had sold at this stage. It was the first fair I had participated in and I was a bit worried that it could be very embarrasing for me with nothing being sold. Anyhow I did sell a good few things and got lots of great feedback and comments, so I was really pleased. I'm going to showcase my work a bit more. I'm in the process of setting up an Etsy shop, so this should be up and running in a couple of days. You can find it here;
I hope you will pay me a visit sometime and let me know what you think






Here are closer-up images of some of the items. These big flowers are some of my favourite things. I've made them in loads of different colours. Whenever I wear mine on my jacket, its often commented on.

















A couple of felty bags






Some small purses, could be used for money/coins or to hold a lipstick


A few felty peices which could be worn as a brooch or could be used as a small wall hanging, or even attached to something else.....the possibilities are endless...

A linen and felt lavender cushion - smells gorgeous

A couple of felty Angels - perfect for either the top of the Christmas tree or a Christening present

Mini Album

I decided I should make use of the "Bind it All" that I've had for ages, which is still in the box and has never been used. So no better occasion than our first wedding anniversary. I've made DH a mini album instead of a card. It's only a few pages;-

Petra's Trust

An online buddy and talented crafter Petra Madill is in desperate need of major brain surgery to remove a tumour. The safest treatment is available in Germany at a cost of c€20,000, the HSE will not fund this surgery. Her friends at Cara Craft supplies are trying to raise as much as possible to enable Petra to receive this treatment. http://www.craftsupplies.ie/shop/chat/viewforum.php?f=26

A trust has also been set up which lists all the upcoming fundraising activities.http://petrastrust.webs.com/

Please, if you able, support this worthy cause. Thank you


"Daisies are like smiles and when you trod on one, the next day it has popped back up to smile at the sun. Just like Petra has had to do so many times."

Some of the cards I've made over the last few weeks. Hope you like them.

I’ve been a bad blogger lately. Will post some photo’s soon, of cards I’ve recently made, but in the meantime enjoy some wedding photo’s. Only recently received the “official” album and the Cd of all the wedding photo’s – just in time for our first anniversary
