I've been busy knitting all week, making more bags for the next craft show, and making bags for customers orders from the last event.
It was only after I had pegged out my latest set of felted bags on the washing line to dry that I took a moment to look
not at how many I'd made or if the colours are quite right
or whether the sizes are what I'm going to need.
I remembered to actually see what was in front of me,
To look at how fun they appear hanging in the sun in my beloved but sadly neglected garden.
and I remembered why I live this crazy crafting life.
after all

So very true and I love your bags... if you have hand felted all those bags your arms must be broken... such beautiful creations... if only people were fully aware of the time and hard work involved making them...
ReplyDeleteI am trying to stop and stare at something each day... this morning Daniel and I went to Tintinhull house Gardens (National Trust) and we sat on a step and ate a jam sandwich.... such a lovely place to sit and stare... lol
good luck with your next fayre...

I love your bags!!! I crochet...forgive me for asking a stupid question, but felting is a form of crochet, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer,
ReplyDeleteI think the only stupid questions are the ones we don't ask!
And yes, you are quite right in that any knitting or crochet done with pure handwash yarn will felt. I've seen some stunning crocheted and felted flowers around.
