Felt Rainbows Now Back in Stock

I've had a few felt colours out of stock for a while... but now all 65 colours are available again. Hurrah!

My new supplies arrived this morning, and I've just finished sorting them all out and getting everything back in stock on my website and shops on Etsy, Folksy and DaWanda.

Mini rainbows and giant rainbows containing all 65 colours are now back in stock, and of course you've got all 65 colours to choose from when ordering pick-and-mix bundles.

All the colours being back also means that my soft pastels and natural tones packs have their full complement of colours again. The pastels packs are proving quite popular at the moment - they're perfect for spring and Easter crafting projects.

Also back in stock are the 3inch embroidery hoops which are great for framing small cross stitch and embroidery projects.

Rosettes for Champion Tea Drinkers

Drinking tea isn't a sport, but if it was I think us Brits would be quite good at it! I definitely know a few people who'd be good candidates for an Olympic tea-drinking team.

My new brooches are perfect for tea lovers - prize rosettes decorated with cute teapot buttons.

I finished sewing them yesterday, and they're now available over in my shop on Etsy, in blue, pink, brown and purple. I'll be adding them to my shop on Folksy and to my website later today.

Heart-Felt Holidays

I've got some fun news to share with you today...

The lovely people at Lark Books are publishing a follow-up to their Christmas craft book Fa la la la Felt.

It's called Heart-Felt Holidays and it contains "40 charming projects for Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and more."

And it includes SIX whole projects by me. Yay!

Wanna see my projects?

There's cake toppers for birthday cakes and cupcakes:

A version of my popular butterfly mobile for a baby shower:

Heart baubles for Valentine's Day:

Lavender "teabags" for Mother's Day:

Manly moustaches for Father's Day:

Plus a pirate eyepatch and parrot for Talk Like a Pirate Day:

... which also includes instructions for making a half-size parrot to wear as a brooch:

I can't wait to see a copy of the finished book, and to see everyone else's projects.

Heart-Felt Holidays is currently available to pre-order on Amazon USA and Amazon UK. Although it's officially due to be published in April in the USA the books will apparently be shipping to US stores very soon. Hurrah!
