Pitter, Patter

With many babies being born to dear friends, I have developed a fail-safe gift idea. These little shoes, made from scraps of fabric and leather off-cuts, are good first walkers or slippers.

I've used cordoroy for the outside and a bright print for the lining.

Clutch purses go to Texas

Today I finished these 2 clutch purses for a girl in Houston, Texas. She bought five clutch purses to give to her bridesmaids as thank you presents. What a great idea!

Birthday Scarf

This week was my daughter's third birthday, and I wanted to share with you one of her gifts - a stunning hand-felted scarf made by the talented Kate.

It was a big hit, due especially to the warm sunset colours of orange, pink, red and deep purple.

There is something so special about handmade gifts, knowing the story behind your present and the person who made it.

And this one will be warm and cheery through a bleak Mountain's winter.
