Bombing it

I have most definitely passed my love of all things wool and outdoors onto my daughter Isobel. This evening we were "bombing it" aka yarnbombing our tepee.

I used 10 6ft bamboo canes and some left over balls of wool. I pressed them into the ground to make sure they keep the shape and tied them at the top with wool to keep secure.  I also used a smaller stock to make the doorway shape and to mark where Isobel wasn't to pull the wool through.

Then I let imagination and Isobel free and the result is super.  The possibilities are endless, we could leave it as is, we could cover with an old curtain and turn it into a shelter or perhaps plant some peas or nasturtiums to grow up along our weave. 

So for less than five euro we built a home and had a few hours fun.

Do you want to hear a yarn ..........

Crafting for me isn’t just a hobby it’s a way of life. The crochet is top of my list at the moment and I am forever working on new ideas.  My friends often bring me in broken jewellery, buttons or items of clothing as they know I will have something in mind. Nothing will go to waste. I even keep a notepad beside the bed as the best ideas always seem to come just before I go to sleep, the “ten minute madness” I like to call it. I also like to make jewellery and am dabbling with the sewing machine at the moment, so watch this space for more new designs.

When you buy from my site, you are buying handmade, you are buying Irish and in many cases you are buying local. It’s not from a shop or a long production line, it’s something I have put together once “she who must be obeyed” has gone to bed and all the household chores are done. I appreciate each sale and should anyone have any problem with their item, I would appreciate your honest feedback and ask that you contact me so that any issues can be resolved.
