Hello my friends. Happy New Year!
I hope it's a good one for all of you.
I thought I'd start 2014 with little round up of last years creativity. A little bit of closure as they say! So without further-a-do and in no particular order lets enjoy a little visual reminder.
I tried a bit of hand dyeing last year, not my most favourite of pastimes but needs must and all that. There was also some bunny making, some felted Dales scenes and a bit of make do and mend!
I embroidered little felt gardens onto greetings cards, created my first kits, made my Mum a needle case and I experimented with 3D felting.
I taught a couple of felting workshops, stitched fabric flower brooches and felted a field mouse! And I could never forget making nearly 100 felt flower brooches!
As usual plenty of handbags were created, some commissions, some not but all unique and often a little quirky.
I sold lots of printed greeting cards. More bags and a memory journal commission for a lovely young ladies 21st birthday.
A short foray into ribbon embroidered felt brooches, more bags and a felted Mr Fox. Don't forget one very cute Jack Russell felt.
More brooches, a hand knitted lacy shawl (which I am wearing at this very moment) a patchwork quilt commission and my first set of prints from my felt paintings. (must update my Etsy shop!)
Another little home made gift for Mum, a scissor keep. My crochet Christmas tree, one feltd wall hanging and an experience I could never forget...My stand at Yarndale 2013!
Well, I enjoyed that but I'm glad it's over and now we can get on with 2014.
Onward and upward I say.
I hope you'll all join me now and again so see what the new year brings. After all... it wouldn't be the same without you ;)
love Fi x

Anon. Still.
You're incredibly talented -- what beautiful art!! Thanks for sharing.
Your work is amazing! I am "borrowing" the idea for your hexagon crochet bag - its gorgeous! (Just a question - do you line your bags pre or post assembly?)
My word, you were productive! And it just amazes me that all that talent comes from one person! You are an artist of unbelievable talent and I thank you for sharing it with us.
I love the felted painting of cottage and sheep and that big beautiful sky. It's all amazing.
The background on your mannequin looks like it's straight from the Doc Martin t.v. series on PBS here. (Love that show and of course Downton Abbey). I wish you the best of luck and success this coming year and that your creative well never runs dry!
Wow!!! Your work is so so beautiful! Welcome visit to my blog too :)
Goodness me, everything that you do is exquisite -your talents are amazing. I wish you all the best for the coming year.
