Felt by Rae: Meet Myrtle
http://www.feltbyrae.com/2015/05/meet-myrtle.html
Still a Blue Peter girl. Saturday, 30 May 2015. One of the first things I treated myself to when I moved in to my flat getting on for 2 years ago was a dressmaking mannequin. My Lovely Mum named her Myrtle; suits her doesn't it? So I quickly hand sewed it over my only evening dress and added a sash to cover the dodgy stitching! It's taken me a while, but I've finally got my craft room pretty much sorted now. Well, moving across the country and new jobs can take a bit of getting used to! Now all I need to...

Felt by Rae: Squeak little piggy, squeak!
http://www.feltbyrae.com/2015/05/squeak-little-piggy-squeak.html
Still a Blue Peter girl. Friday, 15 May 2015. Squeak little piggy, squeak! Well, although it has been chaotic lately what with super long hours at work as we go-live this weekend, when a good friend leaves for a new job, one just has to send her off with a little gift. My lovely chum loves llamas. Naturally I dug out my wool tops and needles and got stuck in. Llamas faces are pretty hard! To be easier, surely? Of course, I still have to make her a llama as she has seen the WIP photos an fell in love!

http://www.feltbyrae.com/2012/09/a-handbag-for-autumn.html
Still a Blue Peter girl. Saturday, 15 September 2012. A handbag for autumn. Last year I did Laalaa's. Magic Ball swap with the lovely Undomesticated Scientist. And received (amongst many other wonderful treats) some balls of fabulous fluffy purple yarn.

This is my second September make in the Felt Fairy's. My crafty mojo van...

Then I sewed the lining together and after many, many...
