Sausage Dogs and Bunting

This year has started with my usual assessment of the crafting materials. I enjoy it a lot and of course I get a lot of inspiration from it all. In fact I get so much inspiration that I currently have about 4 items on the go.

Job number 1 was the scrap fabric and out of that so far I have managed two completed sets of bunting with another two sets on the go.

The flags are totally random.

Two more sets waiting to be basted this evening.

This lap quilt is made from small squares and lined with fleecy fabric.

And the inevitable tiny patchwork bags and shoulder bags.

 

And there is yet more scrappy fabric if I care to make any more.

My second job was a good tidy up of my felt stash.

This resulted in donkey keyrings.

 

Many years ago my sister`s mother-in-law gave me a lot of tapestry wool in skeins. I am just coming to the end of it.

These owls were made using that same wool. 

 

I have also made colourful dried flower rings using the flowers grown in the garden.

 

And cute little sausage dogs using multi-coloured wool.

I have been given these lacy hankies and I hope to use them for lavender bags. But I already started some by using up antique lace and fine lawn fabrics.

Many of these items will be on the honesty shop craft trolley through the late spring and summer in the Wool Barn..

Last year I made 1,209 craft items. I wonder how many there will be in 2026. I`ve made a good and very satisfying start.
