Im back!

We've had a lovely time, but had to come home early. Iv hurt my back, so we took the easy option and came when the traffic wouldn't be as busy. I'm not a happy bunny as I was going to go the the Fibrefest 09 near Exeter on the way home. I just hope a few of you will go so i can read your blogs..... Please write about it Sara.

Anyway Cornwall was was very inspirational as per usual and I have loads of ideas floating around in my head. Ill just have to wait until I get more mobile.

Here are a few pic's from the holiday. Yes I did get some Christmas cards done! 60 to be exact. Not as many as last year..... the record of 135. But I do have one more child to keep me busier this year.

These are just a few. I fancied doing something different this year and did a gift on the card.


This is not a flattering photo of me crocheting in Megavissey. Whilst waiting for the crabs to decide whether they wanted to be cort or not!

One hour later and this is our catch (two crabs and five shrimps) and one flower finished!


Im off to try and do some more unpacking and to lie straight for a while.

What a month!

This month has been rather busy. I have made the hard decision to stop making my bath and skin care ranges. At this current time of our economical climate, its not viable. Before anyone panics, yes I'm still making my felted soaps! There so bright and funky that i cant bring myself not too. So its all systems go to get enough stock rolling for my stalls in the other things that I do.


Crocheting!
Iv started to crochet, well just flowers at the moment!. I would like to say a big thank you to my Mum D for being so patient in teaching me how to do this.

These are my brooches and a photo of my hair clips will follow at a later date. There rather sweet to brighten up a plain top or jacket.

Buttons Buttons Buttons!!!
These are just a few which have been made over the past week. Some are made for projects and others to card up and sell on my craft stall.



Shawls, Scarfs and Flowers
These are my latest!

A Black, white, grey and turquoise combination of merino wool with silver glitter pieces entwined.


Firer...... Combination of different reds with oranges and brown silk threads intermingled.

Rainbow...... A lovely merino and silk combination materials mixed together. Skeleton leafs have also been felted in the edges of the shawl. Wool from Shunkies.



Rainbow colours combined with different colours of mohair.

All flowers have been made to go with the flowers. Iv cupped the centre buttons to give a sense of depth to the flowers.
