Felted Pendants

Such poor light to take photos! Why does it rain when you want/need to record anything? GRRR! Ah, well. Needs must. Two new pendants finished...must make more!

Here we are then...results of playing with my new toy. I had a couple of hours of fun, locked away in my 'workroom' (sounds so posh, doesn't it? My new name for the utlity room!), whilst the children hurtled past the window; back and forth; bang bang on the window - giggle, giggle - back and forth; rumble rumble on their scooters; scream; back and forth; knock, knock - giggle, giggle - enjoying the lovely sunshine.
I'm quite pleased with the result - I can see how things will probably evolve. It was great not to have to keep rethreading a needle - in fact, that was bliss! I don't have fingertips that were ever destined to complete dainty tasks like that!

This, I guess, is a natural progression from yesterday's post. Whilst I was at the Knitting and Stitching Show, my new and very exciting purchase was delivered...an embellishing machine! I am SO excited about it! I promised this as a treat to myself, and it's here at last! I can't wait to get started with it, and in honour of that, this weeks' Shopping List has uncovered some textile delights.
The fibres are beautiful, aren't they? Gorgeous colours - and great names, too! Perfect for any project. I love the fact that these jumpers and wool garments can arrive on your doorstep pre-felted, ready for use...so convenient.
For inspiration towards achieving great results, look no further than these fabulous brooches - so beautiful - and this scrumptious cushion - eyecandy for your favourite chair!
