Felt Flowers!

These felt flowers were made with hand dyed pure wool felt.

They are very simple to make and can be used as a brooch or on a hairclip.

They are proving to be a very popular gift amongst my family!

Enjoy!

Hand dyed wool!

Over the past few weeks I’ve gained an interest in dying my own wool! For these colours I’ve used food coloring, raro (which is similar to koolaid) and another salt replacement powder. I’m quite happy with how they’ve turned out! I’m starting small and gaining experience!

Lots of chickens!

Easter will be here soon so I’m busily making chickens! These colours are my favourite! They’re quite easy to make and look great! They also have their own needle felted eggs!

A productive day

Today, I’m quite pleased to say that I’ve learnt to wet felt! It’s quite satisfying!

I have also completed a crochet cushion cover!

This took awhile to make but it was well worth it!

Crochet chicken!

This is a chicken that I’m crocheting for Easter! I used a great pattern found here

I also needle felted an egg to go with it!
The chicken is bottomless so the egg fits underneath it.

I used a slightly smaller hook than the pattern said, it makes it a bit firmer depending on the wool used. I used a 3.5 mm (E) hook as opposed to a 5.00 mm (H) hook.

I hope you enjoy it!

Crochet coin purse!

With a friend’s birthday sprung on me at the last minute, I needed something quick, easy and useful to make her. So, I came up with this mini coin purse! The beauty of it is that it can be made a thousand times with different colour combinations!

Approximate size: 6 cm x 7 cm

I’ve already made four, with people requesting I now make them one!
