You may or may not know that I have the pleasure of teaching classes at the fantabulous Make Cafe here in Christchurch.
This evening I have been creating some Woodland Creatures for a potential workshop for kids.
Here is what I came up with complete with a forest background that would be fun to colour in.
Of course there is a fox (that really goes without saying!!) an owl, hedgehog and a toadstool.
What I'm really liking about these creatures is that I have made them from some drawings I did a couple of weeks ago when we first talked about having another felt workshop for kids. I am really liking that I am able to create the whole process from drawing to finished creature-not that, for me is pretty exciting!!

Craft Love Festival
I am really excited to be participating in The Craft Love Festival at Mairehau High School tomorrow night. As one of the organisers, Hazel, of Hazel Loves Design says: only one more sleep!!
This Festival/market is being held in conjunction with Around the Table-bloggers connecting which has been organised by some amazing and talented local women who have even made it to Stuff which is fabulous publicity for the event! I am going to the dinner on Saturday night which is looking to be an interesting get together.
I've just finished a little bit of sewing and I'm playing around with a mock set up for tomorrow night...
foxes, ninjas, squiggle-bops, cushions t-shirts, tea-towels, pillowcases, hoop embroidery and purses-it's almost like a mini homewares store.

Scraps
I have just started to play with some of the scraps I got from Cat in the Scrap Bag Swap. It's really exciting (especially for a fabric addict such as myself) to say I have so many scraps to choose from. Here is a little stitchery from one of my many doodles I began at a market last weekend. I call her/it Red. I think I'll leave it in the hoop but will need to put a backing on it..so almost completed...
