I'm thrilled with the new brand logo that Niki Collier has been painstakingly marking on all our new felting tools, tomorrow I'm going to post properly about them and share our final names but for now here's a pic!!!They'll be ready to go out in...
Amongst everything else I got up to yesterday I had the strongest urge to felt one of Chrissie's new designs from our upcoming book and then decided to dye it using turmeric from my larder! [caption id="attachment_3559" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Lovely yellow as I dip the felt...
On Friday afternoon I felted two ultra lightweight nuno scarves, one for me and one to sell! The ponge silk that I used for both was a beautiful lettuce colour and I combined this with a very fine open layer of my favourite apple green...
My neck is really tingling now (from an old injury) so I know it's time to call it a day and stop felting and/or using the computer! Thankfully I've had a full day working, the market in the morning (very quiet today, no sales but...
Well, everything definitely seems to be happening at once here. The first batch of felting tools that designer Niki Collier and I are having made to our specifications has arrived now and will be available for sale sometime over the next few days! We just...

Sorry about the lack of posting over the last week or so, I'm in Bansko (Bulgaria) with Alan sorting out some business and catching a little time on the ski slopes! Internet coverage is not brilliant but I'll be back to posting as normal next...
For the first time yesterday I felted a wrap in a 'new to me' colour combination, turquoise, chocolate and copper. Today I felted a larger wrap using some of the same fabrics but adding a few small pieces of gold metallic mesh too. Unfortunately the...
Today's beginner and improvers workshop at Clasheen actually turned into a private lesson as the other participants all had to reschedule due to illness and unforseen circumstances, it's often difficult trying to organise classes in Ireland, ironic but true! Anyway, I'll be teaching the same...
Yesterday I was very busy felting! I'm going to be away unexpectedly next week (thanks George for stepping up to the mark at zero notice to house and Rex sit, Annette I'll be in touch about July!) so I need have to have a batch...
