At last something to see

I am very pleased to say that this weekend I actually made some things. I probably didn't get as much done as I had hoped, but I am still fairly pleased and it felt good to be creating again.

I started off on Saturday with a felt making session. The felt will eventually turn into hotwater bottle covers. I love feltmaking but it always takes longer than you think, so I need to have another good session or two.

I then finished up a batch of tea cosies, followed by starting some door stops, which are similar to my draft excluder's (thanks for Ellie at From the Wilde for the idea), they are not quite finished yet, but are very cute.

My first fair is on the 20 November, at The Place in Sherwood, Nottingham, it has a wonderful selection of local makers and is always really enjoyable. I just need some more making sessions first!

Time for Tea

I made these tea cosies a couple of weeks ago now. I wanted to do something with the felt tree's I had made.

I kind of really like them, but to be honest they were a right pain to make and really time consuming, neither of these of good enough quality to sell either.

So I don't think I will be making any more, as the time spent making them, versus the how much I can charge for them just doesn't add up. But thought I would show them anyway as they are nice and bright and its a very grey day!
