Felting..................

I hope you fellow Aussies had a wonderful long week-end.
Ours was the usual soccer on Saturday, but on Sunday we snuck off to the beach for two days.
No photos though as I need to get a new camera and Cassie had hers.... So instead I thought I would show you what I made at my felting course last week.A hand bag and scarf. I made the scarf first and bag to match... Just need to go somewhere other than work to wear them....I enjoyed felting, I think it is the process, doesn't take a lot of thinking so for me it was really enjoyable and realizing. I am definitely going to be more of this..So much quicker to felt a scarf than for me to knit one....
The gold is silk and it came out lovely laid over the wool. Just adds that little bit of bling to it, and we can never have to much bling...Next time I am going to make a hat, I would like to make a bigger bag as well for every day use...

But not today as I have to head into work...and it is a wonderful sunny day outside, so I will be getting what I need to get done quickly and coming back to spend time in the garden...
Enjoy your day
Mandy...
