I’ve got scissor blisters after my latest session of Christmas tree-making. However, I can cut a mean circle and haven’t stabbed myself with the wire half as much, so all is good in my wooly, fuzzy world😊 My latest creations are hanging ornaments. They’re available in my store. Pop on over and grab a set…
Felted wooly Christmas treesIt seems the festive season is upon us. With Halloween just around the corner, we’ll soon be galloping at an exhilarating rate towards the Holidays! Time to gather and slice the wood branches that have been drying out all summer, start felting some old wool sweaters, grab my scissors, and make some…
This is the first artwork Mark and I have ever collaborated on. We planned to create a piece to transform a corner of our small garden, giving the seating area a chilled lounge-like feel.

The trouble is, the thought of covering them up with a mug seems sad, so maybe I’ll hang them on the wall instead:-) But anyway, they are a lovely slow-stitching project, and like so many of…
I made this ornament yesterday, but it already looks like a family heirloom. You may know I’m a lover of vintage style, things that are a bit frayed around the edges, a little quirky, and this stuffed heart hit the spot. Using small scraps of gorgeous fabric from my stash, I was able to slow-stitch…
I’ve been collecting worn out jeans for a while now. They’re all frayed, super soft, stitched up and mended in places, and just crying out to be repurposed. I challenged myself to use every single inch of the jeans—zip, pockets, waistband, hems—in various projects. The scissors came out and I busily deconstructed about 6 pairs.…
