Bookmarks

I've begun making some linen bookmarks - these have a wool felt applique stitched to them. I have more ideas for these in the works.

Felt of Sandra Adams

This lady's work is pretty amazing!

I'm settling in for this afternoon's match, and pulling out some jewellery pieces to add to my Etsy listings.  It's a humid and overcast day, and looks like it might rain.

I'm trying out a new coin purse, a wool felt one.  I've discovered the felt layers make it bulky and the sewing mahcine doesn't like it, so when I make the next one I'm going to adapt my seaming technique to make it easier.
When I've done that, I'm going to finish some pieces with applique polkadots. 

I'm also going to want to find time to properly look through my new issues of Azure and Stringing magazines which arrived recently.

Mess!

Clearing up weeks of accumulated piles of things so that we can move in this room again.  Tea stained a piece of silk yardage a little while ago and took it outside to dry, which was the first time I'd been outside today.  It's so nice out!  These are another element of the butterfly project.  They're wet felted 'cocoons' made from wool and silk fibres.
