It's a button frenzy !!

Finally, I've managed to get round to listings lots of lovely new buttons that have been sitting in boxes for ages !

All of the buttons can be found on the home page of our site

First up is a Christmas mix of buttons - available in 50g bags

Next we have a new range of the small 1cm buttons - all candy stripes and available in 6 different colourways - red, navy, baby blue, baby pink, hot pink & lemon

Then we've got 3 new "Designer" buttons - all measuring 35mm

If you saw Kirstie's Handmade Britain last week, you will know that she attempted needle felting ! And of course, on our site you will find a huge range of needle felting supplies & accessories. We've been manically busy since Kirstie's show was aired and once again this afternoon once it was repeated. Because of this, we're completely out of stock of our animal needle felting kits but fear not .... we are expecting a delivery later this week of all of the animal kits + a few new animals as well !

We're also expecting a BIG felt delivery later this week so if you're waiting on metre squares, pink & red hearts, ivory felt balls, felt stacks - they'll be here very soon. Keep an eye on the website as we're hoping they'll all be back on the site next weekend.

Want to learn how to make felt ?

Then join us at a number of felting workshops that we're running in conjunction with The Make It Room !

Felting workshops at The Make It Room are run by a lovely neighbour of mine who is an expert felter (as well as being a tutor in a number of other crafty techniques). The Make It Room is situated approximately 1 minute walk from Blooming Felt Shedquarters !

Listed below are the dates that The Make It Room are running the felting workshops. All workshops cost £25 per person and that includes all supplies needed to make the felt, along with refreshments and a finished piece to take home with you.

On a couple of dates, I will be opening the Blooming Felt Studio to anyone attending the workshops and you will be able to come in and buy any supplies you might need (along with any supplies you don't need but feel the need to buy anyway !) to kick start your new found hobby. The workshop dates and the dates when we'll be opening Blooming Felt Shedquarters are noted below :

Wednesday 30th November 10-1pm (BF Studio open after this session), 2-5pm and 6-9pm

Tuesday 6th December 10-1pm (BF Studio open after this session), 2-5pm and 6-9pm

Friday 9th December 2-5pm and 6-9pm

Friday 16th December 10-1pm

Dates for 2012 will be published soon

If you would like to pop over to the Blooming Felt Studio after those sessions indicated above, please let me know (so I can have a tidy up !) and if you would like to book on any of the felting workshops, you can either email me at info @ bloomingfelt.co.uk (remove the spaces) or contact The Make It Room directly on 01245 477152, quoting Blooming Felt.

We look forward to seeing you soon !!
