Completed Creations!

Wow, what a busy week it has been... I thought I would post a few pics of completed creations.

This is a custom bird version of my 'Rainbow Owls' wall hanging. This was to match a very pretty nursery linen for a little boy named Evans... still to be born.

Jacob will have the above name banner adorning the nursery door awaiting his arrival in 10 weeks time....

Miss Eliana is turning 2 and will be receiving this green name banner that made me crave apples the whole time I was sewing it!!

And lastly a wedding pillow to match the bridesmaids who will be wearing a beautiful midnight blue...

I will be busy wrapping these tonight ready for tomorrows post, and then I think a day off to take Maisie out to enjoy a day of (hopeful) sunshine...

Candyfloss K

Off to a babyshower morning tea, quite fitting that it is pouring in rain!! I am lucky enough to know it is a girl and the name starts with K, so I have made this pretty letter hanger for the nursery door.

Off to get Maisie all pretty for the party...

Frangipani Wedding Pillow

I had a chance to finish another couple of wedding ring pillows today. One is a custom order so will not picture it till sent off and the other is a frangipani pillow. My brother got married in Rarotonga and the frangipanis were in flower, just beautiful. My inspiration for this no-fuss pillow, no silk or lace ... nice and elegantly simple, using pure wool felt and a lovely matt ribbon. I added the touch of colour using food colourings..... perfect for that island wedding!

Owl Mobile

I had such a late night last night... 12 midnight I got to bed, which is late for the mother of a 4 month old. I was not living it up though, no, I was tackling my newest creation... Meet my Rainbow Owl Family.



I had all sorts of fun trying to sew the owls onto the branch so it looked like they were straddling it. I finally got there and am quite pleased with the results.

I love how Mum and Baby owl are cuddling up and Dad is looking on fondly, ahhh.

I just have one dilemma... do I give them feet... what do you think? Would love you feedback!

Nice early night tonight I think, enjoy the rest of your weekend xxx

Rainbow Valley

We have been having horrible weather here in the Bay today, so I have had plenty of time to finish my butterfly picture, titled 'Rainbow Valley'. I really have trouble with butterfly's, I think this is because you can not characterise them so easily.

All these bright colours make up for such a horrible day xxx

'....Something Blue...'

My newest creation was inspired by some magazine clippings given to me by Rachel, my coffee group pal, which featured pin cushions. I thought they would make lovely wedding ring pillows as I myself am not a fan of silk and lace and thats all you seem to get here in NZ. I have used a duck egg blue background as it is such a soft pretty colour and well, you always need something blue!!

Off to practice my felt flower making... the options are endless xxx

OH thanks Rachels Mum xx

Finished Something!!

Presenting my heart of hearts 'Love Heart'. Really happy with how it looks...

... with optional Swarovski heart..

or personalised for a special occasion. If you like this you will find a new listing at my shop http://www.maisie-moo.felt.co.nz/

Have a lovely relaxing weekend xxx Ria

Around in circles

I have been all over the place this week. I was given the task of creating a felt picture which had flowers and butterflies involved... I did start this, but it soon led to collage art with felt hearts and then onto different types on felt flowers (there are a lot!) And finally I was working on a wedding ring cushion today. Let just say tomorrow is down to finish at least one of these. xx

A 'Heart of Hearts' collage... not stuck down yet, still a bit wonky, just playing at the moment. But really like the texture and contrast of colours. Looking forward to finishing and framing.


The beginnings of a picture, something not quite right, but I loved the simplicity of the flowers which then lead to ....

... something borrowed, something blue... wedding ring cushions in the making.

Will hopefully be back soon with something finished.

Another New Creation

I decided to expand on 'Little Rainbow Houses' and try some Shops instead. This is the result. Hope you all like :)
