The Enterprising Beginning.....

Welcome to the Waste not, Want knot project. The goal is to turn textile waste into desirable objects that people want. Its a combination of all those things our grandparents told us; waste not, want not, combined with modern day landfill avoidance, reduce, reuse, recycle, and a need to liberate a great collection of fabrics and trims amassed over a few years from the back of my wardrobe, under my bed, in the roof space etc.... I have a design degree and an addiction to textile arts and crafts, lets see where it leads....

Just a few more photos....





Just a few more photos for April. I added to my sewing companion collection. Sewing companions are super handy friends that work as a pin cushion but have the added bonus of a built in needlebook so you can store your needles safely ( they wont disappear into the pin cushion). No more need to have a separate needlebook, everything is in the one handy place. Perfect present for a crafty mum or friend. Katie Bug Ladybug or Honey bee, more critters coming soon.
and a few more owl photos cause I know you like them

April news- Owls , owls and more wildlife






Oh naughty me , nce again not much blogging but lots of creative making. Whats new , lots of Owl Doorstops have been winging their way to new homes, I have also been by request making some has plushies ( soft toys that you can cuddle!) I also have some new Owl products to debut early May ( so check back soon). Recently I spent a day making up a huge ( I got a bit carried away) hutch of baby snuggle bunnies. snuggle bunnies are baby toys that can be cuddled or used as a rattle. Each bunny is strictly a one of a kind bunny - limited Edition toy.
So enough rambling here are some photos of what I've been up to; Remember that you can adopt oone of your own at my felt store www.zippitydoodah.felt.co.nz or send me a message if you have a special request. For those of you in Auckland I will be at Devonport Craft market This Sunday May 2nd 10 - 3pm Clarence st, Devonport.
