That’s more Poppies in Crafted in Moray South Street Elgin. There’s more to come in the next few days. £12 with 25% to Poppy Scotland.

It's been great today, popping into Crafted in Moray to restock my shelf. There's more soap pebbles in various colours and can you spot the Felt pictures? Sheep of course, for without them there would be no wool for me to Felt. Happy Days. 🐑🐑🐑

Wow is it really two years since I made this beauty? I hadn't played with marbles in a very long time. I think it's time to get them out again 🐑🐑🐑

It's been super crazy busy in this household recently, but there's always time to play with wool! I've made these as gifts for family and friends. Now that they've been unwrapped I can share with you. I hope you like them. It's the first time really that I've felted Wool pictures, but I've been so inspired by the works of fellow artists from around the world I just "felt" I had to have a go!!! Seasons greetings to all 🎄

I'm finally able to share this beauty with you all. This handbag is wet felted using 100% Merino wool. It's approximately 11 inches high and 15 wide. The flowers are well fulled enabling them to hold their shape. A lovely gentleman commissioned me to make it for his wife as a 25th wedding anniversary gift. Congratulations to you both. You know who you are xx

Hello I'm making the most of an eight hour train journey. Adding a label and button to my wet-felted bag and finishing touches to a wedding card. To top it off I've managed to bead two Poppies. Happy Days.

Hello My Lovelies. Let me introduce my most recent make, I've Named her 'Winter Wonderland'. Made using Merino Wool and a few very fine wisps of silk. I'm loving the shape and I'm very pleased with the finished article. Currently she is adorning the shop window at Crafted, South Street Elgin, priced at £65. Where I'm sure she won't be there long.

My latest make!! This 100% Merino Wool Hat is now available to purchase. I've dropped it off to Crafted South Street Elgin. £60 with £10 going to Poppy Scotland.
We will remember them

I'm off to school!!!
Today I'll be at a local school teaching the children wet felting. They will be making Poppies, I'm hoping to get a few hand shots so may have photos to put up later 🐏

I've had fun this week getting hot and soapy making this gorgeous hat. I love it so much I'm very tempted to keep it for myself. 100% Merino Wool (it's my favourite 😉) It's off to Crafted South Street Elgin and is priced at £60. I'm sure it will soon have a home.

Another hat for you today. A few silk threads through the Merino wool giving a slight marbling effect. I plan to start on a bag tomorrow...... ooh what colour to play with though? 🐏🐏

It's been rather quiet here recently as I've been rather busy with wearing a multitude of hats!!!!
Speaking of hats here is a wee project I've made in recent days. 100% merino wool beautifully soft suitable for a newborn. I've popped it into Crafted South Street Elgin, and is now for sale. Lots more to come I promise.
... The sun is shining brightly here in Roseisle I hope it's the same for you too.

Another Fairy House ready for delivery. 100% Merino wool from the lovely folk at World of Wool. It stands approximately 6 inches in total and can be illuminated with a battery powered tea light(not supplied).

If you keep ordering my Poppies I'll keep making them. Our donation of £210 from the sale of Poppies last year makes a difference. 26 already sold this year.
'Lest we forget'

Something a little different. This design has been going on in my head for quite some time. I'm going to make one in pastels I'm thinking maybe a Mother of the Bride!! No two ever the same.

Look what we had in the post today. Thank you to each and everyone of you who bought a Poppy this past year, 71 in total and I'm hoping to make and sell 100 this year. Feel free to share this post.

"I'm one lucky Lady"
