The photoshoots and the reality

When I take pictures of our products our house always looks tidy, if a little lived in. I thought you might like a look over my shoulder at the reality. Above is a picture I took today in my workroom of my latest blanket creation, ready to be listed on Felt. Below is what my sewing room really looks like.

My sewing workstation and ever present ironing board.

Piles of fabric all cut out and ready to sew.

And piles of blankets all printed and ready to be finished off or stored away. Not to mention the little fluff bunnies that can build up with in a couple of hours of me cutting and sewing wool blankets. Hope I haven't shocked you too much.

Blue blue and more blue

Each week I manage to get one day of printing. This week I had a very blue day.

I really love these indigo and dark turquoise butterflies on beautiful vintage New Zealand wool blankets.

Holidays over nose back to the grind stone

Well that's the silly season over for another year, and its nose back to grind stone at Coulter and Coulter. The break has sparked lots of new ideas which will be appearing soon.
Chief block producer, Peter, got involved with the printing. Something he has been keen to do for a while. He insisted that I printed some html tags on his old painting t-shirt. I think this year he might be letting out his inner geek. Be prepared.
The printing results are looking pretty good. Lots of new blankets will be available on my Felt shop in the next couple of weeks.

Still busy

Its been a while since our last post. We have been kept really busy, preparing for the Craft Market, getting new ideas off the ground and thinking about Christmas. Yes the big X is on its way again.

More cosy vintage blankets

Some more beautiful all New Zealand wool vintage blankets.

Colourful butterflies and

Peter's favorite the fern paisley print, he choose the colours for the one above. The one below black on a lovely old gray blue blanket.
