Sage

This week I found a lovely 100% pure wool sage blanket.

It was so lovely I struggled at first to cut it up.

But my creative juices over took me and away I went.

I am terribly short of Hotwater Bottle covers coming into this busy season

so I made a cover and a matching purse.

My little old camera really does not do the lovely sage green justice.

One of my favourite blogs is by

Marley and Lockyer

she is one truly talented lady.

Today on her blog she had this verse by Rebekah Joy Plett.

 I am sure it will resonate with all those people who create beautiful hand made creations plus all those people who love, buy and appreciate handmade goods.

Housekeeping

I found a wonderful book recently

that is helping me with my house keeping.

My bath is now looking lovely and sparkly

I use a lot of white vinegar in my dying, and now I have found several more uses

for my white vinegar. 

I highly recommend that you take a peak at this book.

This week I have been doing some dying

 and stocking up on all the little bits and pieces that I need for the busy season ahead.

I love using a variety of different coloured threads.

About a year ago a lovely lady called Helene who has a market stall gave me 

three balls of her thread to try. 

Helene hand dyes her threads mostly for knitting but she has a few for sewing.

I have been hooked on her threads ever since.

Helene's business is called

Happy Go Knitty 

Look at this lovely yarn it goes perfectly with the new colours I have just dyed.

The Little White Box

No markets for me this weekend.

So I thought I would share what my friend Renee from 

"The Little White Box"

 has been up to.

Natural Resources

Recently when I was in the Bay of Plenty

I met two ladies that run a child care centre.

There centre has a lovely list of virtues:

One of there virtues is the appreciation of natural resources.

With that in mind they asked me to make them a few things.

 Lovebirds in Baskets

 

They asked for a Coral Mushroom Pixie which I had not made before.

I think she looks rather sweet.

Pixies in shades of Pink and Purple

I enjoyed making these creations,.

Just knowing that soon some little people will be having 

imaginative play with them

brings me great joy.

Lovebirds

Its a day for Lovebirds today.

I have Lovebird Purses in all different colours.
I have just put them in my
Online Shop along with a number of other designs.

I had a huge weekend thank you to all those people who purchased one of my creations.
All my Hydrangea Purses have gone so I shall work on some more this week.
In the mean time here's some Lovebirds.
