I’m still enjoying making more small felt flowers …
…and I’m also making some new flowers on wires to put in with potted houseplants to make them cheerful.
I decided to ‘go large’ with one floral project that could be used as home décor, perhaps draped through an iron bed-frame, banister rail or on a mantle-piece.
However, a flamboyant person could enjoy wearing this as a statement necklace!
I enjoy making felt ‘ropes’ and I’ve turned several of them into multiple-ring bracelets – but opened up they could also be worn as necklaces.

After months of utility sewing I decided to have some fun and make some pictures for a child’s room by mostly using up scraps of fabric. The pictures are 5”x7” on a 7”x9” board with 1” matte so will fit into a standard photo frame.
The fabric for the fish was made by scattering small pieces of coloured tutu net onto a piece of white cotton fabric then covering with ‘Solvy’ and machine stitching close lines of an almost invisible thread to hold it all together.
Yes, I do like snails don’t I? I’ve done several over the years!
I found a scrap of gold material that was begging to be used and it just had to be a ballerina.
A tiny piece of sequin material was the starting point for this bird.
Teddy gave me a bit of trouble – this is the third attempt as I wasn’t happy with the first two!
Sometimes it’s good to have an inspirational quote on display, so I framed a printed picture of one of my old felt pieces with words on it.
Perhaps we should remember those words when we start a new project but maybe feel a bit overwhelmed by it.
