Hello - It's me!

Yeah! As promised another photo from the felted sign making ; )

I have been doing some more work on the sign today, I cut out the letters out of some pre- felted white felt, then cut letter shaped holes in the sky of my sign. Phew that was scary!

It has been soaped , rubbed and rolled and is not looking too bad. Shall be back with another installment soon : )

Making a Felted Sign

I have started work on a felt sign for The Rainbow Room. It is a design I painted over 6 years ago and it feels great to be actually making it in wool. I spent hours laying all the fibres out like this and they looked so beautiful I was a bit scared of adding the soap and water! I will show some more shots of this as the different elements get added to it.

Union Jack

Feeling inspired by the good old Union Jack I made my first flag felted soap!

You gottta love the good old red, white & blue : )

Red, White & Blue

Something a bit different today, in fact not a rainbow in sight. Just good old Red, White & Blue.

My friend asked me to make some bunting for her little boys bedroom. She is always decorating and is fab at interior & garden design! His room is looking great with a handpainted Union Jack on one wall, lots of red, white & blue, Mini's and all things British and boyish! I hope this bunting will just finish it off nicely, I have enjoyed making it and hope to work on some more bunting ideas soon!!

Mika

I have just had the best few days away in Birmingham, and the highlight was seeing Mika live in concert : ) I wouldn't say I was a groupie, but I was very happy to get his autograph and give him one of my rainbows as a pressie...I hope he wears it!

I love everything about Mika, his music, showmanship, creativity, uplifting lyrics. He also appreciates handmade and works with his family for costumes and illustration. Check out his sister Dawack who works with him, and is the most fantastic artist.

I look forward to seeing him again soon!

I ♥ ETSY!

I ♥ ETSY!

I really do love Etsy!!! My 'Spectrum Bubbles' felt necklace has been included in this fab Storque (Etsy's Handmade Blog) article. I am over the moon and it is a first for me. An added bonus is the picture is the one that is used on the front page thingy too!!!

The article UK Style: A Bit of Fluff is all about POM POMS and is great fun in this never ending winter.

Making some fluffy pom poms is something I have been meaning to do, so today I seized the moment and made my first fluffy purple pom pom. It is one of the most tactile things I have ever touched and have a feeling it may be the first of many : )

Happy Days

Well my day got off to a great start when my 'Rainbow Plushie' was featured on the front page of Etsy * happy dance all round*

The sun has also paid a visit to Mid Wales which makes........SO much difference : )

Me and my little girl went out for a lovely walk, and were lucky to find a gap in the fence so us and our dog could get down to the river!

Did I introduce you to Woody, he is our beautiful Weimaraner who came to us by chance and has been a member of the family for 6 years now. In his prime he could clear the stile to get down to the river, but now he is 12 he just can't do it, as much as he wants too!

So it was great for him to be able to have a splash in the river and fetch sticks for us, he was just like a puppy : ) And we all smiled and had so much fun!
