Just a quick post this evening as the hours seem to have slipped away and it is now time for bed! The last of the trees were planted this morning and I was lucky enough to plant the final 8, far from the amount I had originally intended but time was not on my side.
This afternoon I [...]

This morning I made some more felt flowers and two cuffs, after lunch (fed five hungry tree planters some home made red Thai curry!) I forced myself to sit down and finish several of the flowers by adding simple brooch backs. The weather has been wonderfully crisp today so I was able to take some photos [...]

At Saturday morning’s workshop Hilary made some gorgeous felt flowers and we tried out a super new soap!
Because there were only the two of us (unfortunately the other participants were not able to make it) I was able to show Hilary how I usually lay out my wool and then we would both make a flower, Hilary following [...]

During the summer I received two balls of a ribbon yarn during one of the Ravelry swaps that I participate in. As I understand it these would normally be used as quirky additions when knitting, crocheting or weaving but for me they make the perfect yarn to use when stringing fun felt necklaces! The ribbon that I have [...]

Since I last posted here on Friday it seems that at least two weeks worth of work has actualy taken place so apologies for my lack of communication over the last few days.
On Saturday morning as I was preparing for the first of my two planned felting workshops I managed to shear the copper water pipe leading from my [...]

At last I have my flat felting tutorial written and can start to put up my felting kits for sale in my Etsy store! It needed the craft fair this weekend to really focus me, not having access to a printer at the moment is a big pain but hopefully next week I can get [...]

Just a quick post today as I continue preparations for Saturday’s workshops and Sunday’s craft fair at Raheen. Yesterday I made two sweet scarflettes using some of the gorgeous printed silk that I bought recently at Threads of Green in Kilkenny. The print is in a light turquoise and rust so I was debating whether [...]

As promised here are some pictures of my new style (loosly based on a Lyda Rump design) fabric and felt neckpiece.
The scarves that I have used in my first two prototypes are a 20% silk 80% linen mix and the beads are wet felted from some of my gorgeously soft short fibred merino. When I was taking [...]

At the end of last week I made two fabric and felt neckpieces, basically a cross between a necklace and a scarf! These were inspired by a piece of Lyda Rump’s that I saw in Denmark this summer and consisted of a long scarf of silk and linen pulled through large felt beads. The two ends of [...]

It’s really unusual to have snow this early in the year on the ridge opposite the front of my farmhouse. Sometimes, the larger peak Mount Leinster does have a dusting in mid November but normally we only have it on the whole range in the thick of winter (if at all) so I was delighted to [...]
