Postie parcel...

from Created and Felted handmade bags....
recently Claire has asked for fellow bloggers to visit her shop and give their opinion of her shop and items she has for sale... the best thing about this survey is that you get the chance to win one of her lovely creations..and you have till the 25th of February to get your name in the hat

However I loved her little pod purses and treated myself to one...

its a perfect little pouch, and as she says in her description they would be ideal for a little gift to be sent in say a necklace of a ring...


Hand felting is exhausting... I only felted 5 small hearts and it took such a lot of shoulder breaking effort, so much time effort and love goes into these creations because to be honest if you didn't love creating these works of art you would not put yourself through it all...lol
once you have agitated it in soapy water then you have to shape it and pad it out leaving it to dry... which takes up space and a fair amount of time...

I love it and I will start saving my pennies so that I can commission a lovely bag to go with it...

take care everyone
hugs

I like those granny's, very pretty color yarn.
I can't say I've ever handfelted. I enjoy crocheting bags and machine felting them and will be experimenting on some knitted slippers soon.

The crochet is beautiful, and much as I love the notion of felting, know I haven't the physical strength for it, nor the money to buy felted objects, so just look at the pictures and admire.

and a lovely purse it is to.

I just popped over to say thankyou so much for meeting up with me today it was lovely to get to know you guy's a little.
I'm sorry I had to cut it short but I really need to sort my little guy's problems out as I'm sure you can understand.
I'd love to make it a regular thing ( If you'll have me lol).
Hope to see you soon
((hugs))
