Today I have been making cushions for a shop in London out of this yummy spicy green felt.
Cutting Leaves for a leaf cushion
The colour is so scrumptuous and it keeps changing depending on the light. I normaly work with a felted weave but this is pressed pure wool felt. Great quality, no pilling…takes me back actually to the old pressed felt days.
Punching holes in felt moths for the centre of the moth flower cushion
I have about 2 1/2 metres to work with so i’ve cut the pieces for 8 cushions and one bag. I’m looking forward to seeing the collection when done. I’ll take a picture for you before they head off.
The other job today was an etsy order for a love nest brooch. Now packaged and sent.
Embroidering the two heart petals

All in a days work!

Is this not the most gorgeous creature? Cuddly no, but very cute!
The hedgehogs are everywhere, dosily ambling about stuffed with slugs and snails. They have no predators on the island (ie foxes) so they thrive. Some think they’re a bain. I love them.
My son Ruben was doing work experience at the local vet during the summer and someone brought in a pet hedgehog with a growth on its leg. It was hugely overweight. Apparently she had fed her previous hedgehog on marshmallows…what!!

Today’s project is making a roman grass blind in chocolate for customer Fletcher. I thought I’d take a couple of pics on the way.
Measure, measure and measure again!
From now on I’m going to keep you up to date with the work I do each day. Watch this space!
