I snapped this little fellow taking a stroll across the field at lunchtime yesterday.. he was only about 30ft - 40ft away, I've never seen a fox that close in bright dayight before, I think he was too hot to be bothered about being seen :) Had him lined up sitting facing me & just as I pressed the camera button he turned round to scratch his chin! Never mind.. you can see what a lovely sunny day it was.
Feeling hot n itchy |
So, what have I been felting this week? I got my hands on another vintage silk sari and made my first scarf from it :) took a while for the wool to migrate through nicely but it was worth it.
super long & skinny |
I'm working on 2 pairs of slippers.. a version of the 'franken-boots' (Rachaels slippers from last year)re-christened Funky Boots.. they are about half way done. And some mens mule slippers.. a special request from a very good customer for her hubby. They now have some pretty stitching around the openings and I just need to sew the soles on. Think tomorow is going to be a sewing day.
LOVE this colour combo - chartreuse & turquoise |
This weekend though has been spent in the sun and thoroughly enjoyed :) Its been a lovely long weekend too, the kids school was closed on Firday for a training day.. with a little forethought we could of had a few nice days by the sea - ah well.
My next post is going to be the process pics of my Helenium flower cushion that I promised many months ago..

Love your slippers! What do you use for the soles?
Hi Anonymous :) thanks for the compliment.
I handstitch soft leather soles onto all of my slippers.. theres loads more info on my 'Leather Soles for Felted Slippers' page (you should be able to see a tab somewhere above the blog post.. let me know if you can't) its worth checking out if you are interested in soling felted slippers
