Felting courses - how much fun!

So, I just have to share how much fun I have had over the last two weekends. I did a half day felting course last Saturday, making a picture. I started off trying to do a landscape with heather, which is what I had in my head, but I was not happy with what it looked like when I was putting the wool out, so I removed the landscape and went freestyle. I got a bit of "homework" by the teacher, saying to embellish it and show it today at my second course. So, I did a little bit of embellishing...not as much as I had in my mind, as I did not have any silver beads that I wanted to add to the blue swirl you will see when you see the picture. This means it is a work in progress...lol

 Below you can see the before picture of my scarf, before it has been felted. As I was working on it, it felt like it was just getting bigger and bigger, but in the end it turned out just perfect:)
 Below is an angel made by our teacher Ulrike. Absolutely stunning!
 Isn't this gnome just adorable? :)
 And below you can see six very different scarves made by us in the course. Amazing what you can make with felt:) 
Below you can see the jar / container I made. It still needs a bit of work as the lid is not as big as the hole in the jar / container...which is also why I have folded out the edge around it...but that also mean you can see the inside color. I am quite pleased with it:)

Refreshing my blog (long time coming)...

Hi, I haven't posted here for a very long time. Towards the end of the last period of blogging I completely lost track of my craftiness and there was just too much going on in life. Now I am finally feeling like myself again, I have started a web shop on Etsy and have started selling my jewellery from a shop in town. I have not yet been brave enough to do a craft fair, but I have my eyes on one in October and then it is a matter of doing some Christmas fairs to get my name out there. Below you can see some of the things I have made, and I will be posting my finished items whatever they may be both on Instagram, Facebook and here, planning on going a bit more in depth here for whoever wants to know more:) So, here we go:) This was a commission, made up of peacock colour freshwater cultured pearl nuggets and silver-plated copper stardust beads and findings. It consists of a ring, ear studs, bracelet and necklace. The lady who ordered it absolutely loves it:) Below are so...

New Year, New Home, New Outlook!

Ok, so I have been very bad with writing on my blog...I am slightly ashamed... I do however have a reason for it...This last year went pear shaped, and I lost myself a bit. Firstly in March, my husband failed his final exam for the first time, causing a lot of stress and worry. Secondly, we lost our gorgeous baby girl Tara, our almost 12 year old GSD...she was in too much pain in her back and back legs, she was dragging her back feet as she had no strength to lift them to walk properly on her pads. This caused her to wear down her claws so much that she was bleeding on one occasion. After this occasion we made sure to walk her only on the side of the road so she could drag her feet on grass instead of asphalt. At the end of April 2014, we sent her across the Rainbow Bridge, to join her friend Darwin whom we lost in December 2012. After this awful event, things were quite tough at home, and as if that was not enough, my husband still had to study and practice for his final exam. He ha...

Slimming World update!

I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY!!! I lost 6 1/2 pounds, which means I have reached my 1st stone milestone:) I am so surprised but happy...I have gained 1/2pound three weeks in a row because my period was 3weeks late. Now my period has come and gone, and it just shows how much my body is affected by the f***king period...  (and those stars are hiding REA and nothing else...lol) So, tonight it is Nando's dinner...chicken, coleslaw and ratatouille (or perhaps some lovely chips) to celebrate weightloss as well as payday...I do normally let myself enjoy a nice treat of some sorts after my weigh in...that way it is easier to stay on track the rest of the time...:) I am getting on with my Siamese cats, and am about halfway through with the white, and once that is done I am finished and can make them into a cushion cover:)
