My Creative Space...


I've had a lovely break. The trusty husky had some time off and, aside from a tiny bit of hand stitching and some applique for a delivery for the Wilderness Society shop last week, I've not done a thing since Christmas that resembled anything crafty. Creative energies have been focused on food, as described in earlier posts. Now that's under control and life is getting back to some sense of normal, I'm feeling that creative niggle return. Hooray!! Its like an old friend - not some part of my brain sent to torment me for all the things I can't do. I'm feeling refreshed and ready to roll up my sleeves... So I'm really glad that Kirsty's Creative Space is back, just in time. Can't wait so see what everyone's been up to...


I'm finding it a little odd, but I'm hankering to work with wool. A little knitting and planning some needle felting for the owlets - mermaids have been ordered!! I also have some ideas simmering for Autumn and Winter with these woven wools I've had for a little while. Popsicle (aka. my father in law) found the check fabric at the bottom of the pile on one of his garage sale trawls - bless! I'm thinking pants. I'm hoping to add more unisex and boyish things to the owlet shop this year because I often have requests. Why is it that boys are so often overlooked?

  5. This looks so yummy... I've been wanting to get stuck into wool things too, Lauren! What is that about?! Faintly psychopathic for a Queenslander in this heat I think ;) Have fun :) K

  6. The tweedy fabrics look great and will make some excellent manly outfits I'm sure! Those wool rovings look like fairy floss... delicious.

  8. Lovely pic. Yay for boys stuff - they are overlooked. Maybe because most people who make kids stuff are chicks, so they know chicks better? My little boy has certainly changed the way I look at the world! Nic
