Endweek.

Hooray for the weekend!!

I'm hoping for a bit of crochet, lots of lounging about the house, some knitting, maybe a garage sale or two, some honey spinning, some sewing, a test drive of a chunky caravan pulling car, some baking, hanging out with Farmer Bren's folks, maybe a dvd, lots of coffee and anything more...or less...is a bonus.

And here's a photo of the finished and felted slippers from yesterday.

Thanks for all your felting suggestions. In the end I popped them in a bra bag in a hot wash with a pair of jeans for agitation and then into the dryer for about five minutes. They fit into the palm of my hand now. Too cute!

To finish them off I sewed on some velcro and then crocheted a little white flower for the clasp. Raveled here.

Oh and no one believed me this morning when I told my girls they were all adopted as an April Fools. Oh well.

So what are you up to this weekend? Have you got any big plans?

I hope you have fun and maybe a bit of an adventure.

See ya. XX

My creative space.

In my creative space today I am hooking granny squares for pockets. I don't think I've got another granny square blanket in me, I haven't even finished sewing in the ends of my first one, but I do love hooking these little treasure collecting pockets.

I am pattern testing a cute little pair of ballet slippers. I have just finished knitting them in the softest, most luxurious organic merino wool this morning. Details here.

But now its time to felt them and I need your help. What is your felting method? I've only ever done hand felting and I've heard something about a hot washing machine and a pair of jeans for agitation, but I'm not sure.

Help?

And of course I'm sewing some vintage sheet dresses for my shop.

I love cutting and stitching these mixy matchy dresses. The colours and patterns and styles make me so happy. And I love dreaming about their new owners and hearing their happily ever after stories. Check out Tricia's here.

I hope this Thursday brings you some wonderful surprises.

See ya. XX
