A little needle felt order for Easter sent out today. Not sure if an old poison bottle was the best prop to use!

An old green straight sided bottle which has a small, lichen covered twig sticking out of the top. Hanging from the twig are two small pink eggs with pearl beads  studding them. In front of the vase is a pink woollen pig and to the right of the pig is a woollen model of a sitting baby hare with its ears laid back.

Crazy patchwork? Was very popular in the Victorian era and looks amazing, especially with extra embroidery over the seams.

Today’s walk - cold air making the colours pop.

A winding country lane with tall bare branched oak trees lining one side and a clipped hedgerow on the other. It is a sunny winter day, with a cold light and bright coppery leaves against a clear blue sky.

Tonight’s makings. #needlefelt

A hand with a little woollen robin perched on top of the fingers, in a plain plaster walled cottage bedroom with an old dressing table in the background.

Tiny mouse sketch - possible new needle felt design.

A loosely drawn pencil sketch of a girl mouse standing rather awkwardly with a tiny handbag swinging from one paw. She is wearing a little straight dress with a pocket and her face is pointing upwards as if looking at something.

Part of a Christmas order going out to a customer - I had a little play before packing and made a deconstructed version of ‘The Strawberry Thief’ by William Morris. #needlefelting

An old tall glass bottle standing on a wooden shelf against a rough plaster interior wall. There is a natural branch station in it with several twiggy offshoots, covered in yellow lichen. A decorative white woollen folk bird hangs from one branch and two red woollen strawberries studded with off white beads hang from others. The atmosphere is plain and sparse so that the decorations stand out.
