crafty goodness...

So I've been feeling crafty! I found the inspiration to make these festive coasters here
a must see for those devoted to all things felt.


In January I created the above table rug for my little niece. Made in the style of 'penny rugs', a wool appliqué popular in the early to mid 19th century, gaining its name from the large pennies used as templates and the thrifty use of scrap woollens left over from other projects. I chose the colours to match the scheme of her bedroom. So much fun to do, a satisfying little project to work up in front of the fire, sipping tea, watching tv...
