Here Comes The Bride

Annie and I have been felting fiends, preparing for next weekend's Wed By Hand. We are really excited about our beautiful needle felted bride and groom dolls that we have created. Couples can have their likeness replicated in 100% wool - felted with care, best wishes, and attention to detail. All we need is a photo of the happy couple in their wedding finery and we can take it from there.

In addition, we will be promoting a variety of felting workshops for the wedding party, bridal party, friends and family. Workshops will focus on making thoughtful and meaningful gifts for the couple. Possibilities include "The Wishing Wreath" or "Love Heart Garland," or perhaps it's time to get the gang together to felt-up all the wedding favours (key chains, magnets, pins...).Think: all your best girls, the moms, sisters, and aunties...coming together for an evening of laughter and creative expression to celebrate your upcoming nuptials. Or perhaps the couple, the bridesmaids and the groomsmen choose a get together to create the centrepiece for the head table or a felted doll of each of themselves for place settings. The ideas are endless and the emphasis always on celebrating the couple with love and laughter and creating a very fun evening for all those dear to the couple's hearts.

Annie has been working on the groom and he is a stunner. Hopefully she can send me a picture of the handsome devil soon and I can post. I have a good feeling about these two. LOVE.

Put 'er in 5th. Tomorrow.

Life has returned to "normal." Kids are back and we have fallen into our usual routine once again. Feels good.

And when I look back at the past three weeks and think of the work that I got done and the accomplishments I made, I think... what the hell did you do for three weeks girl? I know I'm being a bit hard on myself and quite possibly the fact that I did spend alot of time sleeping in and reading and daydreaming and puttering was exactly what I needed to do. At least that is what I am telling myself so that I don't tell myself, "you're a lazy cow."

But check out my pretty picture.

This is a big stack of felt triangles that I have cut for bunting. Although I am still making my cotton custom-order bunting, I thought it was high time to use up this heap of felt I have collected. The idea behind this line will be customized bunting that you can buy by the letter. The felt line will be interchangeable so that you can move the letters around to create different words (as long as you have the letters you need). Does this make sense? Stay tuned, by the end of the week I will have some samples completed and you will see my vision!!

Good news. Annie and I have been accepted at the upcoming Wed By Hand show on February 6th. We have three weeks to get our act together!!! So the next three weeks will be a bit of madness but we are very excited to be involved and looking forward to it. As we actually create items, I will post them. That doesn't mean we haven't done anything yet, no m'am. That doesn't mean THAT.
