Eco-conscious, handmade and handsewn gifts made from British wool and remnant fabric.

Did you know real lino is made of sawdust, oils and ground stone? 🪵🪨 It's compostable!
I'm very conscious of the impacts of what I'm using and making so I was so excited I could now add this to my options and try something new! 🌍👩‍🎨
(I always assumed lino was plastic and some versions are so check what you buy!)

🧶This weekend I took part in a workshop where we combined weaving these Mexican God's eyes, and sharing how our stories are woven to make our lives. We picked the colours we were drawn to. I wasn't sure what I thought of it after making it, but looking at it again today I love it! It's so colourful and happy - maybe I was inspired by the current summery weather and didn't even realise!
These God's eyes, in Spanish Ojo de Dios, are made by weaving a design round a wooden cross made of two sticks tied together, and they often have spiritual significance. The workshop was part of St Thomas festival and it was a lovely calm couple of hours. Thanks to all involved in organising and running it 🧶🧶

My local area has been yarn bombed and it's so wonderful! There are colorful handmade flowers on gates, wrapping pillars and railings all over the local streets. Thank you and all the makers for arranging and installing it all. My knitting and crochet skills are almost none but maybe I can work on it and contribute next year! (On another note, Wool On the Exe is where I get lots of my felting felt and British wool yarn. It's so important to support local and independent. And everyone who works there is so lovely! Plus they run courses - I may be signed up to one already 😏)

Dreaming of summer! I was recently isolating with Covid (boo!) but it gave me so much time to try out some new things (yay!). I really wanted to combine wool felt with some of the wonderful pieces of scrap fabric I have. The softer natural background meeting the cleaner cut lines. The background was wet felted and the beach huts are entirely hand stitched in place.

So pleased to say these are 100% British wool! The green and red is white faced Dartmoor hand-dyed in Devon. The brown is Shetland X from Somerset and the white is from Cornwall. Even the hanging loop is Twool - which is also Devon made from Devon wool!
So get yourself a South West pudding! They come in sets of 3, on my Etsy shop now!
