Are there Fairies in your sewing basket?

This little Fairie will keep your pins and needles safe.
She has little silk wings and makes garlands from threads we leave behind!

She is a perfect gift for someone special

. .. but there is no guarantee that she will do your mending for you!    
... sorry, this little Fairie has found a new home !

Friendship grows here

 

 

Take some morning sunshine

add a smile

. .. some kind words too

sprinkle in some happy hours

It's not very hard to do

 

Add a little thoughtfulness

. .. stir just enough to blend

 

 

serve it warm with loving hands

It's the makings of a Friend

Every girl should have a pretty needle case

 

 I love felting

 and I believe .. .every girl should have a pretty needle case!

The old and the new ...

I made this needle case years and years ago adding synthetic fabric flower petals

to each nuno felted page. It survives today in spite of being attacked by scissors

in the hands of my young son (along with his doonah, pillowcase and a pair of his shorts)

- I should have known better - instead of blessing the rare silence,

I should have been afraid of it and asked myself what he was up to ...   

 I like to make needle cases and pin cushions

Last night I felted the cover of this one to add to my collection.

Pretty pastel needle case

I embellished the fleece with silk fibres, silk fabric strips

and a small amount of opalescent pink fabric.

Champagne pink is such a gentle colour.

Blue Star Nuno Felt Baby Wrap

Here's another baby wrap nuno felted onto white cotton muslin.

 I'm not sure if it reminds me of stars in the sky

 or starfish in the ocean.

Easter cheer

Belated Valentine

My 'I Love Hearts Swap' gifts sent from Australia to Kuwait

have finally landed at their new home with Tammy !

Here's a peek

 

an embroidered linen bag

 

 a red embroidered felt heart

 an alpaca pincushion

an embroidered felt card and a white felted hanging heart.

I'm so glad she likes them !

Drop by and say hello at T's Daily Treasures

. . ..  lucky girl just had a holiday in Sri Lanka for her birthday !

A little off topic . . .

It's raining again today, surprise surprise !

So we went for a walk by the beach for a breath of fresh air and to escape the muddy garden.

 This is my other girl, Willow. Look at her face -  she loves the car.

 Walk . . . Did someone say Walk ?

  We walked and we walked

 and we walked in the rain, a gloomy but beautiful day.

Colours are more rich, textures more vivid

and everyone is wet, sandy, dripping and wearing smiles.

A good day !
