Upcoming Events for Autumn 2016 plus New Cards and Cushions

After a long summer break from making and blogging, it's back to work now with preparations for all my upcoming events this Autumn!

I had this idea for a felted hare picture back in June and finally got time to make it once our schools went back mid August.

The original measures 20 x 20 cm and comes complete with mount and frame. The outer edge of the frame measures 36 x 36 cm.

Hare Among the Wildflowers

£145

One of the reasons for making the picture was to have it printed into cards and notebooks.

Cards £2.50

Notebooks £5.95

I also had it printed onto cushions!

Cushions £40

Other new cushion designs include Gardener's Cottage and Drying Day at The Bothy.

The originals of both of these pictures are still available in my Etsy shop here 

Other new card designs include Gardener's Cottage

Aurora and Stars

Dragonflies and Seathrift

Drying Day at The Bothy

and Winter's Garden.

The cards measure 12.5 x 12.5 cm and are all available individually at £2.50 each or as a set of six at £12

My cards and jewellery are also available at The Rowan Tree Gift Shop in Falkland, right on the main street, opposite the palace.

I'll leave you with a nice sunset we enjoyed while on holiday in Ireland in July. The photo is taken from the very end of the Dingle peninsula, Co Kerry. This is one of my most favourite places to be!

Falkland Craft Market October 2015

What a busy month October is shaping up to be!

As usual the market offers a wide variety of locally handmade arts and crafts.

I will of course have my 2016 Calendar available.

I am delighted to say that a range of my framed felt artwork is now available at The Atholl Gallery in Dunkeld. I have always loved this gallery and feel very exited to have work exhibited there.

We've had some really stunning weather here over the last couple of weeks and some really clear skies. I missed out on seeing the aurora borealis last night but my brother took this stunning photos near Perth. Hoping to see some shooting stars and hopefully another display of the aurora tonight!

My next event after Falkland is at Pitcairngreen Village Hall on Saturday 24th October 10 - 3.30pm
