Being a little coy about 'my creative space' today - I'm only showing the reverse side of what I'm working on ;-) It's going really well so far, it's a large piece - and I'm cracking on with it! Suffice to say that it's made entirely from Harris Tweed and toy stuffing and is the result of some frantic doodling I did last night when I came home from the office. I'm having fun with this one - back to designing 'softies'/soft sculpture, whatever you like to call it :) There are a few 'doodles' on the go! . . .
I love this tweed, it's a beautiful combination of colours, and I was being a bit brave/stupid, to use it today as I wasn't sure how things would go - as it is, they seem to have gone OK :)
Today in the post I got . . . .
NORO!!!!! I love this yarn - I've been working so hard on my 'tweedie' business the last couple of weeks I thought I needed a little treat :) So I bought a couple of balls of it - it's not cheap, but it IS gorgeous! It's all part of the grieving process from losing the Noro beanies I made last Christmas - I think this will help me feel better ;-)

Very curious about your tweedy project :)

Pretty yarn. It was definitely a necessary purchase.
Brave or stupid Alison, when inspiration strikes you've got to go with it and sometimes jumping straight in is the best way to go....no procrastinating.
Can't wait to see what you are up to and glad it's going according to plan.
We all need little treats every now and then, enjoy playing with the wool....gorgeous colours.
Have a great weekend,
