my suggestion would be to go with a Wordpress (self hosted (eg on HostGator) site - ie using wordpress.org, not the .com free ones) website. It is the way to go now and you can have a blog...

Hi Louise
I visited the alpaca farm on friday. they are soooo cute (apart from the one who was making gurgling noises and getting ready to spit!!). The manager there is just wonderful and very...

That is gorgeous! I love the shape. Only 4-6 oz wool...oooh so tempting! Maybe after cutting a slit for the zip you could reinforce the edges with a decorative blanket stitch (you could also keep the...

Hi all
I have been given some brown alpaca batts. Does anyone have any experience in blending the alpaca with merino? Today I tried making a beret with a colored merino roving pattern on the...

Oooh those colors are just incredible! What a bright way to start my friday! just gorgeous! scruffy is great!

Absolutely beautiful! I love the addition of the tiny pearls. Their sheen really draws your eyes into the picture. Gorgeous!

Oh Shepherdess, I didn't realize you could actually finish something, decide it wasn't felted enough and just rewet it (is that after throwing and soaking in vinegar?). That could be very useful for...

I love your bag! how imaginative! it does look like seed pods. really effective

thanks ladies! all great ideas (swatch swatch swatch!!) and I'm so happy with all the encouragement! has anyone seen 500 Felt Objects (Nathalie Mornu) yet? oh wow, talk about felted eye candy!!...

Thanks so much ladies! Maybe I am being a bit harsh (that's what my boyf said too but that's his job!) but I guess I had a vision of the end result. Rome wasn't built in a day...!! I am writing some...
