Bouquets

Some big news - I'm getting married! So there may be a little less felting next year, but there is one big project I'm working on.

I've decided to make my own bouquets and buttonholes of felt roses. This way I can have a huge bouquet of roses at a fraction of the cost of the real thing and we don't need to worry about picking up fresh flowers from a florist on the wedding day.

The bouquets are still a work in progress because I keep wanting to add things to the bunch, but I think they're looking pretty good. All that's left is to add some more foliage and choose ribbon that will match the bridemaids' dresses.

Christmas gingerbread

It's been a busy two months. Unfortunately the Christmas stall has not happened this year, but watch out - next year the feltyblog will be coming to a market stall near you!

I haven't ended up making many Christmas felties, but I did make these gingerbread people. They are decorating the jars of chocolates and lollies that I'm giving as Christmas gifts this year.

 They all have the same front but some have red backs and some have green backs. That way they can be strung up and fill a room with Christmas colours.

 

Merry Christmas everyone! I wish you all a fantastic new year!
