Feeling Felty

Oooh, I love these colours! They make me feel all warm and cosy! I really like how the turquoise seems to glow when it's set amongst these pinks, purples and browns. This is a really quite deep collar, which is a bit like a...hmm...a 'scarflette', I suppose. Thickly felted, with a smattering of sparkles, and a fabulously clashing deep greeny-turquoisey-satiny-ribbony lining. Yum, yum, and yum again.

That's me for the day - well, almost. Our primary school's Friends AGM was this evening, so I've been quite busy - but the best is yet to come. Oh, yes! Henry VIII in all his glory is repeated tonight, in about ten minutes, and I can hardly wait!

Obviously, I'm watching it for the costumes, the jewellery and the historical facts. That is obvious, isn't it??!!

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!
