Sheep Models Felt Scarf

In the last post I said that the sheep in the photo was Moofie but on closer inspection, I noticed it was Woolly Broo.  Moofie had her own modelling experience a few years ago when I made handmade felt scarves, I came across the photo today and thought I would share it with you.

Although most of our sheep are pretty tame, it's not very easy using a sheep as a model, especially as there are so many other things to be interested in!

First Ever Post

I love reading blogs and can spend hours browsing so I thought it was about time I wrote one myself.  My husband has been saying for a while now that he is a computer widower, and blogging won't help!  I am a textile designer working mainly with 100% wool felt.  I love the way it cuts without fraying and its uniform quality.  I make a wide range of products using felt: handbags, notebook covers, brooches, and more recently jewellery.  Have a little look at my website to see the full range and to buy online.

I work from home and find Shetland a very inspirational place to live and work - I am surrounded by beautiful scenery, wildlife and a rich heritage of music and textiles.  I hope to keep you updated on my work, inspiration, and anything else I feel like sharing!
