This is before felting in the washing machine
Front view
I needle felted some small flowers onto the back, just to give it a different detail to the front.

I bought some felting wool in a colour that is quite close to the deep aqua to make the handles with. You can see a little chain of it I tried out next to the needle felted flower. I should have it finished in the New Year.
Orla Kiely mugs update
I am delighted to report that my mugs have been replaced (see my allotment blog for full details) and that apparently the company that make the mugs for Orla Kiely had a batch that weren't glazed properly, so I guess mine were from that batch. That makes sense of the fact that the latest one bought from John Lewis recently hasn't stained at all, but the ones bought earlier in the year elsewhere had. The mug company were so generous as I got more than I already had replaced. Fantastic customer service ! I am so pleased.
HAVE A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS AND A HEALTHY AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

Yay - a brilliant result! The bag looks gorgeous - the felted flowers you sent to me have been snaffled by a little miss who would like them sewn onto her cardigan. Just like a summer garden she says.

Thanks Pam, I have to get the handles made yet, but haven't managed to source the 10mm double pointed end needles yet to knit them. The wool shop I buy from opens tomorrow so hoefully they have some.
ReplyDeleteI'm honoured little Miss likes the flowers, bless !!
