Searching...

... for inspiration to get going on my Felt-fuelled making, has become a hobby in itself these past few days.

I know a lot of you have noticed me pinning like there is no tomorrow!  There are so many fantastic and talented people with brilliant ideas to check out, I am at risk of never having time to make anything ever again!

Last night only yielded these 2 little birds...



For simple things, they seemed to take an eternity, but that was probably just my procrastination.

So I have decided that tonight I will sketch out and decide on one, maybe two designs (see, I'm doing it again already!), and then just get on with it - if the recipients are only getting one each, then realistically it doesn't matter if they are all the same right?

I am also going to use the production line method, as favoured by Judith too, and started to put this into practice on some zippy pouches today. 

These are for the girls, my Mum and Sister, and maybe another for me...


They are all cut, pressed and prep'ed, ready to sew now, so I am feeling a little better about the 'must makes'; the others could, as dear hubby pointed out, have a box of Ferrero Rocher and be done!

  5. The production line fabrics look great, and the birds are really sweet! I'm trying to post a photo of my new hat in Vienna, but I'm having technical issues - photo on phone, blogging on Ipad,

  13. Chocolate makes most people happy. Now if it came in one of your zippy pouches - so much the better.

  14. Cute felties! and I know all about the production line for zippy's. They seem to be the most consistent sellers, so I did three more yesterday and I've got another 4 in pieces, starting to get a bit tiring now! xx
