Sewing and Dyeing

I recently got this fabric  for the website.

I decided to make some of it into cushions. It is a lovely linen fabric and I just love the print.

It is a nice addition to me TV room

Also, as some of you know I recently purchased a spinning wheel.

I have spun the wool, which I love doing.

I love to be rustic and artistic with it and not perfect, as I am far from a perfectionist. So I let the wool twist and I let it be chunky. 

So today I had a dyeing day.

I have had the dye for a number of weeks and was too nervous to give it a try.

Today I just decided to follow the instructions as it specified and go about it bit by bit.

Im in love... Coconut Ice is my very first batch of handspun and hand dyed wool. I am hooked. Oh my gosh am I ever.

Not too sure what Im going to make with this. Im looking at creating a line of baby prop clothing. So maybe it will end up in some hats and booties.

Have a great day

Tilda Heart made from linen

Some of the linen I purchased yesterday made into a Tilda Heart.

This is embellished with vintage buttons and lace.

I LOVE it.

I came across a tutorial on how to do my own tags for my creations

Click HERE to visit Lyns blog for the tutorial.

A very simple easy thing to do

 These will be added to my gifts and creations in the future.

P.S I am feeling for all the people in Christchurch just now.

How very very hard for them at this time. It is so cold down in that part of New Zealand at this time of the year.
