Felting

Well, I had a day's felting lesson with a friend today. It's like mud pies for girls!

This is what I produced in a morning. It's hard work though, my arms & wrists were really sore!

Will most probably make some corsages with these bits, as they're only small & quite thin, although they're 4 layers.

I eventually would like to make bags, but now realise how much fleece you'd need to make it thick & durable enough not to lose your purse!

Have been busy making some of the crochet corsages too.

Beaded Shawl

Finished! My first beaded shawl & even though I haven't blocked it yet I love it. Love the way the beads catch the light, lovely....

Our local wool shop is out of action because of the floods, so we went to Keswick today & bought a stash of DK wool to make some corsages with, some colours are for orders for friends & others are maybe for my Etsy shop, when I finally get it up & running....

Also bought some sock yarn, solid grey for husband & a multi-purpley one for me.

Not enough hours in the day.....
