We recently received some beautiful wool rowing, and Kaleena has been asking and asking to do some needle felting, she has watched me do it, but I have been hesitant about allowing her to work with the sharp needles. Then the other day I came across a post over on Small Things, 5 little children needle felting, and felt inspired that now is the right time. So yesterday at the farm, in the heat of the day we retreated to the farm shack and pulled out the wool and needles. Keenan gathered sticks to make wands and Kaleena felted the starts for the tops. Meanwhile I braided strands of wool rowing to make the sweet head bands, and helped Kaleena felt the center piece. First she stuffed the cookie cutter with wool rowing and then carefully set to work with the needle Here is her first ever needle felted star, she was so proud and happy with it, and now she wants to felt all the time of course. I thought we would keep Keenan's head band simple, but when he saw Kaleena's butterfly centerpiece, he wanted one too, he then chose a heart. We attached the center piece with the needle, and the stars on the wands with hot glue. Keenan brought his to gather eggs, and used it to keep the rooster away, he was very happy with how well the magic of the wand worked. And here is Kaleena's wand, she is running around with both her creations, even as I write this:) ~A wonderful thursday to you~

The final instalment in my bag series is The Boxy Bag. This one was gifted to my mum on Mother's Day earlier this year. I use stiff denim for these bags, because it holds the wonderful boxy structure. This pattern came about almost by accident! It's actually taken from the Modern Maud pattern template and I had a moment earlier this year of 'I wonder what would happen if I did this ....' and so the Boxy Bag was born! My mum uses hers for transporting her books around. They are bigger than those trendy 'lunch box' style bags that you see about, and are v.sturdy. A stylish yet practical bag. Well I hope you've enjoyed my wee bag series. In a few weeks time these lovelies (& more) will be destined for my sister's salon, hopefully to find new owners! Have a fab Friday!

Well it's the end of a busy week! I don't know about you, but I'm pooped! But I'm pleased to say we've had some gorgeous, sunny days here in N.I. this week, and there's a lovely Autumn feel to the air! As always, the things I've been working on this week I can't show you yet (soon I promise!), so I'm going to give you a wee tute on how to use up every last wee bit of fabric shavings, you know those bits that end up all over your cutting mat after trimming blocks and hsts? We'll here's a cool way to turn them into a new type of fabric. As far as I know this product doesn't have an official name - I learnt it at college and it wasn't called anything then, but if you know the official name of this craft, please let me know. 1. Save up your fabric shavings & wee bits of offcuts that are too small to be useful (you can also cut up wee bits of fluffy wool, ribbon, sparkly threads etc.). Bigger pieces will need to be snipped down smaller. 2. Take a piece of plain sheeting/calico and lay a load of shavings on top. You can colour code your savings as I have done here, or have a multi-coloured mess! Make sure it's thick enough to cover the backing fabric, but not too thick to sew over. 3. Lay a piece of water soluble fabric over the top and pin/sew round the edges. This stuff is really cool - you can get different brands in a craft shop or online. I've used Avalon Water Soluble Embroidery Fabric by Madeira. 4. Now sew, sew, sew over the top of the w.s.fabric, either by free motion quilting or straight & wavy lines all over. Try not to leave any big gaps where the shavings can later escape from. 5. When you have stitched this to within an inch of its life, take the pins out and under a luke warm tap or in a sink/basin, allow the w.s.fabric to melt away (it goes a bit slimy as it melts off so rinse it well). 6. Give your new piece of fabric a good squeeze to get the water out and then allow it to dry on the radiator. 7. When dry, draw your desired shapes on the back and cut out. If you want to, sew more stitching on top to highlight details, for example veins in leaves, or sew on beads, sequins etc. 8. You can now use your fabric shapes to embellish/decorate cards, cushions, make letters or Christmas decorations etc. etc. The possibilities are endless! Another way to use this wonderful water soluble fabric is to roughly sketch a shape on to it & then put it into an embroidery hoop. Repeated sewing and shading with thread will close all the gaps, so that when you take the fabric off the hoop and dissolve the w.s.fabric you are left with a completely embroidered shape. Have fun & let your imagination run wild!
