Mi logo es loco!

Playing around on the computer today as my back needed a rest from felting, I had a bit of fun creating a new logo for my shop tags.

The inspiration comes from my most favourite felted item. I used a photo of my latest toadstool pincushion (which is presently listed in my Etsy shop, wink wink)....


I then 'traced' over the photo using some photo editing software....


and coloured it in using Paint. Et voila! A new original piece of artwork to use as I see fit.


I thought that I could use it to decorate sales labels and stickers for my felted goods and other wares.

What do you think? Is it too frivilous? I wanted something that represents what I'm making and selling right now. I had been using the fairy avatar as my identifying feature, but as I'm not selling fairies she didn't seem to have a 'relationship' with my stuff.

OK, so maybe it's a work in proress, but it's a start. Feedback would be great. Let me have it, but play nice - I'm a delicate soul! Lol.

Three Scarves Fulled & the Six Foot Tall Lightbox

I love these two pictures. They were both taken in our porch which we hardly ever use (apart from storing junk in!).


The light in there is perfect, kind of like a 6 foot tall lightbox! Amazing... where oh where have I been to miss this one!

Just listed the wrap at the front and the scarf at the back in my Etsy shop. The middle one will be listed later on this week.


I'm just finishing off some felted pouches for Nintendo DS lite games, cameras etc.. and will hopefully be able to add them tomorrow.

Thanks everyone for your feedback on the felted scarf. It's really appreciated!

Feltedhandbag Workshop - patterns via PDF on ebay.co.uk

This might be new news. Heck it may even be old news. But it is definitely good news. The Feltedhandbag workshop are now selling their amazing felted bag patterns via PDF on Ebay.co.uk. YAY!

Yes I know they've been selling their patterns for some time now (see their blog), but there's something psychological about being able to buy these patterns via your local hangout - in my case Ebay! Every transaction on Ebay is another boost for my profile afterall!

The patterns cost $8 each which is less than £4 sterling at the moment. A bargain!

For those of you not familiar with their work, the Felted Handbag Workshop have brought us some wonderful bags over the past few years, some of which are available for free on blogland, such as:

Little Slip of a Thing which was published in Knitty's Fall '06 issue, The Balloon Bag (an excellent starter pattern) and also the Little Coco Bag, all of which I've made or attempted during my knit-to-felt craze last year.

My favourites at the moment are the Felted Entrelac bag and the Felted Modular Triangles bag. Guess that's something else I can add to my Thingmas wishlist. :) :) :)
