My Creative Space - For the Girls and Boys

I can't believe its been a whole week since I posted!!! The weekend saw quite a few extended family members coming and going from our "Guest House" as many of them like to call it. There was also a new baby arrived - Yes I have another little cutie-pie niece (Yippee for making girl stuff!). Sadly she lives about 4 hrs from here... maybe I'll have to send Posie over to visit her!

My creative space today involves felting this...


It's a trial run that I used vintage wool for. If it works it will become a brooch (I think it wouldn't look too bad on a cream coloured jacket).


That scrumptious ball of Bendigo Woolen Mills Cotton in Marine now looks like this. And I am having so much fun with it. Can't wait to show you the finished project.


Amid the never ceasing movements of family coming and going over the weekend, I finally got the original version of Passion pour les Fleurs finished. I started it before this one - but with birthdays being more important at the time than finishing a scarf for myself, I put this one on hold for a while (now I just need a warmer day to wear it as it is made from a mix of Jo Sharp and Cleckheaton 8ply cotton).

The winner for my GIVEAWAY will be announced later today.

    wow, what lovely work, that blue to beautiful and I agree, the flower brooch would look fab on a cream coat. Not sure what is happening with the following - google says I am publicly following, my icon is a little pink floral butterfly...

    I've never felted, but bought some wool for a workshop that I wasn't able to attend. Maybe I should just try and whip up something myself and give the felting a go. :/ Your scarf is lovely. Have a terrific Thursday. Tammy

    I'm subscribing so I can see what the marine crochet becomes...so pretty. About the maps...in the US we have an Automobile club and they offer free maps. I'm not sure where you would find them. Maybe at gas stations?
    Thank for stopping by The Summer House.
