Felted flowers

A few felted flowers to share and this one I made into a brooch and sewed on a few seed beads in the centre.

I've included a few pieces wool rovings above so you can see what I started with.

The purple one above was for my MIL for her birthday and the one below, is for me! I've yet to add some beads to prettify it!

I also made a little heart and a little  pink flower which I shall probably use on cards.

Thanks for popping in!

Toadstool Felted scene

More felting to share, this time mostly wet felting, although I did use needle felting to make the flowers.  I mostly worked on this at my weekly Crafternoon session in town, space to spread out!

Wet felting involves water, soap and bubble wrap!  I bought the kit at Wool Fest last year - a fantastic show here in the north of Cumbria relating to all things wool -  spinning, dying, live sheep (other animals were available!), clothing, fabric, vintage goodies, I loved it.  Can't wait for this year's in June.  

I loved making the flowers out of the wool rovings and am definitely going to incorporate more in my card making.

I could only part with this if I could see it regularly and so I'm going to give it to Holly for baby's nursery - still no signs of baby arriving, four days over now!!

Fingers crossed that tomorrow is the day!

I've been doing some felting!

I've fallen in love with felting!  I bought a couple of kits last year and then started looking at Pinterest as to what else I could make.  These fairies were my first attempt (I've made a few) and it really is therapeutic - stabbing away at the felt with a barbed needle, what a brilliant way to vent all your stress, amongst other things!  

I've also done some flowers and some wet felting of a toadstool scene that I'm really happy with - will show this another day.

It's D day today - due date for baby to arrive but no signs yet, probably be snuggled up in mummy's tummy for a few days yet, so can't wait to meet him or her!!
