It all started with the living room of interior designer Melissa Warner's LA apartment featured on the May cover of House Beautiful . . . The room appeals to me on several levels. The colors, textures and patterns are all very pleasing. I'm not alone in my admiration. This room and apartment have been all over the blogosphere. However, some warn that you might be trendy if you like this room. I've been called worse. But you know what really caught my eye? It's something very simple and unassuming. I'll give you a hint - there are two of them in the photo. Shocking, I know, that I should like something in pairs. Have you figured it out? Yes, it's the cream-colored wool felt applique "Layla" pillow from Crate & Barrel. I love the subtle color and texture. It would make a statement in any room. I've been noticing a lot of wool felt lately. While perusing my PB Teen catalog yesterday, I ran across these examples: Which reminded me of where I first fell in love with wool felt pillows in the first place: Hable Construction. I rushed over to their website to grab some photos of the pillows I have long admired only to find a mere TWO examples. That's it. They used to have dozens of wool felt designs. What's going on? Had I missed something? A little concerned, I sent an email to Hable's sales department inquiring about the lack of wool felt pillows on their site. Was this a temporary shortage? Are there sheep on strike somewhere in New Zealand? I received a very quick and friendly response which read: "We are no longer producing the wool felt products. The pricing has gotten higher over the years and the durability is not as strong as our prints. We just felt it was better to do the better priced collection with Garnet Hill and it has been successful. Thanks for your interest. What we have left is all she wrote! - Kate" Bummer. Am I the last to know this? However, the good news is Hable Construction still carries its line of cotton canvas and cotton linen pillows in their signature bead, checker and poppy designs: As well as some very cool new designs: And, since we're on the subject of pillows, my latest obsession is this crewel pillow from High Street Market's Etsy store: I think my sofa needs another pillow. Gotta break up the symmetry of the pair I currently have. Okay, so I have slight pillow obsession. Any favorites in the bunch?
Color has been a very large part of my whole career. As an artist it is important to have a sense of what colors are composed of, how light affects them, and ho
Last week there was a lot of noise outdoors : it turned out to be the noise of a chainsaw (which makes me nervous most of the time) Some man were busy on the little island right on the other side of the water next to our garden. I looked in terror : Would they really ? ........ Noooo ! the gorgeous weeping willows In a devastating trapeze act the man were decimating the two trees untill ... there were only two pitiful remnants instead of two majestic trees ( "it will be for the best" the Parks Department will probably say ... yuk !) This tiny creature gave me more fun : Lissotriton vulgaris (a newt) he (or she) was hiding with another sibling and mum under the geraniums (but the picture of the three of them wasn't sharp enough) * And indoors the stitching on the sunny heart piece went on and on ... After all the "sun rays" were there (in rainbow colours) the magic thread was stitched in place. Which left me only with the invisible basting of the backside which I did today ! "A warm heart" will be send of to France tomorrow to a very dear friend (and namesake)

When I first started designing wool appliqué pieces, I was looking for purposeful ways of using them other than table rugs and wall hangings. You can only have so many of those, and I enjoy making things that are useful as well. A practical element in a piece adds its own unique beauty, making it an object not to be simply looked at but also to be used. In looking for new uses for my wool appliqué designs, wallpaper boxes came to mind. I have always found period wallpaper boxes fascinating. Not

Here's a little special something for you to make! These pretty cases are perfect for keeping your glasses safe, or holding pens and pencils. They're easy to make and you can download the pattern pieces here. What you'll need to make one case: 9 x 6 inch felt in main colour 9 x 6 inch felt for lining Scraps of felt for bunny/dog Embroidery thread Pinch of stuffing for bunny tail Seed beads for dog collar Button Water soluble pen Exacto blade : Cut our your pattern pieces and lay each piece onto your chosen felts. Carefully cut out. Tip: A sharp pair of long-nosed embroidery scissors are perfect for cutting around the tiny curves on the bunny and dog. Doggie case : Position dog body onto main colour of bag front. Applique all around outer edge. Using your water soluble pen, mark a little eye and a tiny snout. : Embroider eye and snout on with black thread, adding a tiny white stitch to his eye to create an illusion of light reflecting off the eye. : Place ear onto head and applique on and then position collar on and applique on. If you like, sew three seed beads onto the collar. : Pin both pieces of bag front as well as both pieces of bag back together. Baste pieces together. This will keep the front and back pieces from sliding out of place when you sew the two sides together. : Blanket stitch top edge of bag front. Pin front of bag to back of bag. : Blanket stitch all the way around outer edge. Remove basting stitches. : Sew a button onto the front, fold over flap and mark button hole placement. Being very careful, cut slit with your exacto blade. To keep the hole from warping, blanket stitch around opening of button hole. And you're done! Bunny Case : Firstly, you'll need to determine the placement of your bunny in order to know where to place his back ear. Position bunny onto main colour of bag front. Tuck the back ear behind the head so that the head just slightly overlaps the bottom of the ear. You can also use the front ear to help with the placement. Once you're happy with the placement, carefully remove the body/front ear and applique back ear in place. : Applique tail onto body and add a teeny pinch of stuffing before closing. Applique inner ear onto front ear. : Position bunny body in place and applique in place. Follow the directions above to make the eye and add two little whiskers. : Place front ear in place and applique in place. Sew the bow on at the neck using a few tiny stitches in the centre to keep it in place. : As in the first step, determine where you'd like to place the carrot and tuck the carrot greens behind the carrot. Applique bottom edge of greens onto front of bag. : Place carrot onto greens, slightly overlapping bottom edge of greens with the top edge of the carrot. Applique on. If you like, use a darker orange thread to embroider some straight stitches on to give the carrot some texture. : Follow the rest of the steps above to finish your bunny case:) Enjoy! ~Shelly xo

Sewing with felted wool in November and December was all about Christmas gifts and keeping warm. I find the process of cutting, washing, drying, stacking, and organizing wool very satisfying. I wash each sweater in a separate pillowcase, to keep fibers from mixing, and so enjoy the anticipation of opening each pillowcase to see just how a particular sweater felted. Stacks of wool, ready and waiting to be sewn into a wool blanket: Oldest Daughter's Christmas gift. I enjoyed choosing the colors for this blanket. My inspiration was the vintage green rocker that Oldest Daughter purchased for her new apartment. This blanket is now on that chair. This tutorial over at Purl Bee provided the inspiration and instructions for this blanket. I continue to embrace the imprecision of working with felted wool. Double-layer, machine-quilted coasters using the wool samples from the blanket made great stocking stuffers. I saw these on a Better Homes and Gardens DIY site, but now I can't find it. Other stocking stuffers, which I neglected to photograph: a small silk-lined camera sleeve for Artist Son's new small point-and-shoot, and single layer felted merino wool running mittens for Active Son. I re-soled Active Son's slippers while he was home, made a pair for Artist Son, and then modified my pattern to make these Mary-Jane style slippers for Tayta. Active Son and Artist Son returned to Boise and Boston prepared for the cold weather they would face. The hats are made from a lambswool sweater and are lined with a thin cashmere. And, I managed to make a couple small things for myself: coasters for the family room... and a microwaveable flax seed-filled heat pack.I used this tutorial, following the directions for the larger heat pack. For added luxury, I made a cashmere cover. This heat pack was so comforting for a cricked neck I suffered from for a few days. After the neck pain was gone and the house temperatures fell, I warmed the heat pack before bed and used it like a hot-water bottle. Once I got into bed, I moved it to the foot of the bed to warm my ever-cold-in-bed feet. It is perfect. Now I am dreaming of making some bed slippers with a layer of flax seed in the soles. I think they need to be made of cashmere. I forgot to photograph all the potholders that I gave to friends as gifts, but I still have a stack to sew-up so may those will make it into the next wool journal.
