Christmas gifts



Needle felted dog pin

 This is a present I bought for someone as a Christmas gift.  It is a needle felted dog pin and looks so sweet.  The blue scarf is such a good addition.  I would like to learn how to make such nice felted items.  Some fun activities for my days off during January 2011.

Felt brooch

A few weeks ago, when it was sunny and warm in these parts, I went to Newport, Pembrokeshire to enjoy the beach and have a picnic.  There is a lovely craft shop there selling products made by local crafters.  The shop was full of lovely things such as teddies, wicker baskets, paintings and jewellery.  I bought this felted star, which could be worn as a brooch but I have it attached to my willow basket.  The artists other felt brooches include puffins and hearts and would make a great present for the up and coming end of year festival (not actually going to say the word as it is far too early!).
