Still a Blue Peter girl. Monday, 19 March 2012. Fascination with a fascinator.

Felt by Rae: Meet Myrtle
http://www.feltbyrae.com/2015/05/meet-myrtle.html
Still a Blue Peter girl. Saturday, 30 May 2015. One of the first things I treated myself to when I moved in to my flat getting on for 2 years ago was a dressmaking mannequin. My Lovely Mum named her Myrtle; suits her doesn't it? So I quickly hand sewed it over my only evening dress and added a sash to cover the dodgy stitching! It's taken me a while, but I've finally got my craft room pretty much sorted now. Well, moving across the country and new jobs can take a bit of getting used to! Now all I need to...

Sunday, September 21, 2014. Happy birthday to me, I got a coraline zombie. This is the third time I have participated in Val's annual zombie swap over at yarnigras swapper spot. Coincidentally my zombie package arrived the day before my birthday. Yippee! This year I was the lucky recipient of one of Debbie's. I love anything in miniature and the raincoat is a perfect reproduction. Coraline is enjoying a few day of being center stage before her friends come out to play. Musings from Kim K.

Felt by Rae: Squeak little piggy, squeak!
http://www.feltbyrae.com/2015/05/squeak-little-piggy-squeak.html
Still a Blue Peter girl. Friday, 15 May 2015. Squeak little piggy, squeak! Well, although it has been chaotic lately what with super long hours at work as we go-live this weekend, when a good friend leaves for a new job, one just has to send her off with a little gift. My lovely chum loves llamas. Naturally I dug out my wool tops and needles and got stuck in. Llamas faces are pretty hard! To be easier, surely? Of course, I still have to make her a llama as she has seen the WIP photos an fell in love!

http://www.feltbyrae.com/2012/09/a-handbag-for-autumn.html
Still a Blue Peter girl. Saturday, 15 September 2012. A handbag for autumn. Last year I did Laalaa's. Magic Ball swap with the lovely Undomesticated Scientist. And received (amongst many other wonderful treats) some balls of fabulous fluffy purple yarn. Now, I am not a good knitter (bearing in mind it took me the entire 9 months of pregnancy to knit one small matinee jacket! So I figured I'd make a scrummy scarf for my son and heir. This is my second September make in the Felt Fairy's. My crafty mojo van...

Then I sewed the lining together and after many, many...

http://www.feltbyrae.com/2015/06/pretty-pinny.html
Still a Blue Peter girl. Saturday, 20 June 2015. It was recently beloved son's Spiffing Girlfriend's birthday. At my birthday party. She mentioned having a seen vintage pinny in Brighton that was too dear to justify buying. Which pleased me muchly as I'd had a hankering to make her a pretty pinny for some time now, as she is a fantastic baker of delicious cakes. So, on the last day of May (her birthday is 1st of June. nothing like a bit of last minute-ness to get the old creativity flowing! The edging an...
