New Colour Trends & Lots of Bargains

One of the bundles of felt squares I sell in my shops is called "Colour Trends" as it includes shades I've selected to reflect current colour trends in fashion. The pack previously contained colours based on 2012's fashionable colours but - obviously - 2012 will be over soon!

So, I've updated the pack to include colours for spring/summer 2013...

.... mmm... lots of lovely bright colours...

Each bundle includes 20 wool blend felt squares, and comes neatly tied with ribbon. They're available from my main shop, or from my Etsy or Folksy shops.

I've also added some bargain "not quite perfect" items over in my Etsy shop...

... some packs of giant buttons, which are still awesome big buttons but which don't meet my normal quality standards when selecting stock for sale...

... and a few copies of my book, Super-Cute Felt which have small flaws (e.g. a bit of damage to the cover) so I'm selling them at £8 instead of the usual £12.99.

And I've added a whole bunch of older designs from my range (felt brooches, animal masks, flower headbands, etc) to the clearance SALE sections in all my shops...

I've got a whole bunch of new projects planned for 2013 and I need to make some space!

You can find lots of sale bargains in my Big Cartel shop, my Folksy shop and my Etsy shop - available stock varies slightly between the shops but Etsy currently has the widest selection, including lots of items under £5 (hurrah!). 

A New Felt Pack + A Bird Sighting

I had lots of fun yesterday selecting yummy felt colours for a new felt pack...

... a bundle of 20 felt squares in a palette inspired by colour trends for 2012.

They're now available from my Etsy and Folksy shops.


In other news...

I'm this week's "Crafty Superstar" over on Cut Out + Keep. I'll be sharing a few of my old tutorials on the site & there's a mini interview with me which you can read here (if you want to!)


Plus, three of my bird brooches are featured in the new issue of Mollie Makes which came out yesterday. I'm looking forward to buying my copy this afternoon and having a good nose at all the spring-themed loveliness contained within.

Apparently a special issue of Mollie Makes (compiled from 5 previous issues) is currently available in German. I hope it's popular, as it's always great to see UK craft publications doing well!

UPDATE: I'm gradually turning my bird designs into sewing patterns! Visit my shop to see all my printable PDF patterns:

Felt Colour Trends

I've added a couple of new felt packs to my Etsy shop this week, two collections inspired by current colour trends!


There's a pack of 10 warm tones - bright tropical colours, including pinks, yellows and coral:


And a pack of 10 cool tones - cool blues and greens and pale neutrals:


You can also buy both packs together and save! Hurrah.

I'll be updating these packs so they stay "on trend" as the seasons change.


These packs are currently only available from my Etsy shop but I should be adding them to my other shops sometime soon.
