I have been in the grip of a big old fibro flare and have basically been an exhausted zombie for over a week now. Not how I usually roll - it's mostly pain normally but this past week I've genuinely looked as if I have narcolepsy.........and that's not a good thing.
Anyhoo, before the flare took hold I dabbled with a bit of felt earring making! Cupcakes, bats and russian dolls - I just had to try them and get them out of my system I think.
The pics below show all three efforts: (The bats will certainly be adorning my lobes come October!)

So, there are the felt earrings and while we're on the subject of felt; does anyone watch 'Kirstie's fill your house for free'? I'm a devotee and artist Charis Williams is a girl after my own heart - last week she said she keep everything and even has a collection of jam jars. I thought I was the only one!!
Charis also had an awesome hair adornment - a cute little bone! Now as I love anything kitsch, kooky, quirky, or any other term you prefer, I had to make one. I made it from white felt, toy stuffing and a hair clip, tweeted a pic of it to Charis and she loved it! (Have to say I do too!)
In other news I have signed up to the "Stall and Craft Collective" and will be selling from my online stall once the flare has passed and I have a selection of items to stock! Can't wait to get going but in the meantime I've been commissioned by my Mum to make her a bespoke make-up bag for her birthday which is well under way and had a lightening strike of an idea brought about by going to sleep!
More of those next time, until then lovely people.........
Be happy!
Big Love, Loli B xxx
