Relief at last!

After a couple of weeks religiously working on the concertina hat class tutorials I finally gave myself a few hours off to make some felt and (excuse the pun) it felt so good! 🙂 The response to the hat class has been overwhelming, we only started advertising on Friday and already we are down to the last 5 spaces! Thank you to everyone who has shown an interest and/ or shared the link. If you are considering joining this class you might want to hop over to the FFS site ASAP. That said, if you miss out this time, don’t worry, the response has been so great we are already talking about running this class again towards the end of the year or early 2017.

Anyway, back to the felt… 🙂

The observant among you will notice that this hat is also based on the concertina theme,

Catching up

It has been a couple of weeks since I last posted here; I had a lovely week of walking in North Devon followed by an inspiring 3 day workshop, making a seamless dress with Cristina Pacciani. Since returning, I have been furiously trying to finish the hat tutorials for the online workshop I will be hosting in August, in-between attending job interviews and completing a mountain of paperwork needed for my new day job.

I’m getting a bit stir-crazy, utterly desperate to make some felt but trying so hard to be good and remain focused on finishing the tutorials! It’s funny how not being allowed to make anything is making my creative juices flow faster, my sketchbook is now overflowing with ideas that I haven’t had time to bring to fruition. Once the tutorials are finished I foresee a massive spurt of felt-making before I start my new job on the 25th… 🙂

I will post more about the online workshop in a few days, once the finer details have been ironed out but in the meantime here is some eye candy from the last couple of weeks 🙂
