Baby it's cold outside..........

I'm really feeling the cold this year. Thank goodness for scarves and fingerless gloves, I love 'em. I've certainly been selling heaps of warm goodies in the shop. From hand-knitted scarves which have been embellished with flowers and tassels, funky hats with cute brooches made of felt, very cute felt jester boots for children and adults to ponchos and wraps, they have all been cheerfully purchased and quite often worn straight away. These two pretty girls (I'm a bit biased Colleen, on the left, is my niece, Tara is her friend) are proud owners and modelling neck-warmer critters made by my friend Helena, such a cute way to stay warm. I think I'll have to get some more in stock now

I've also sold a heap of the beautiful recycled sari silk twist yarn. It makes beautiful accessories and I think it will be embellishing quite a few projects this season. I originally bought it in thinking it would be good for doing some kumihimo braiding, but so far haven't done it yet. The pile on the 'back-burner' gets bigger every day I fear.

I've got another 'piece' on the drawing board. This one is based on Winter. I have a fairly clear picture of the finished neck-piece in my mind's eye, all I need to do is gather the components together. Before I get started though, I must clear the desk of other jobs. So hopefully by next blog I'll have something to report.
