January has been full of new ideas, sketching and new materials. Well mostly these things I have put together have been new pairs to me (like this wool&stitch), and there have been some well-known whyhaven'tIthoughtthisearlier -moments, too. I definitely have spring and even summer in mind already, and I have been developing my existing products to that direction too. Wow, that sounded quite serious! Let's see what I have been up to.
You already have seen my birdie-bags in wool (and even in tweed, I think). I wanted to create a lighter and spring/summer-style of this.
Linen (and linen is re-used too, makes me smile!) and needle felting! More lighter look and somehow just...new!
The surroundings are still somewhat wintery, there are meters of snow everywhere and when taking the pictures it also was crisp and refreshing -20c...
... As it's also today (-22c and windy) so this woolen pretty-bird is definitely more today's style. But spring is coming, and this year I'll also come prepared!
What you have been up to lately?
Yours,
Mia

Sweet little bags!
i like how the linen ir recycled, its funny how things like that can make something so much more special!
Hi Hannah,
Thank you so much! And recycling is quite important to me, I try only use fabrics that have had a previous life already. Sometimes I buy and odd piece as new, but it's very, very rare. And you're just right: reusing adds something little extra, too!
Have a happy Thursday!
Yours,
Mia

I love linen, Mia, and the linen bag is beautiful! It makes such a different background for the birdie - though both are beautiful in different ways. I love the rounded softness of the birds you create. Keep cosy, wrap up well in those low temperatures! Helen x

I love linen Mia, in fact I have a natural and a dark grey linen sitting besaide me as I type! I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet but I have it anyway! I just love what you have done with your linen though. :)
Your little birds, as always, are little works of art!
Goodness you still are very cold there aren't you, chilly wind here but it's bright and sunny.
Stay warm and have a good day,

Hi Helen,

Hello Viv,
A girl should always have many fabrics in hand just in case ;)even without a need to use it right now! I am sure your linens will turn into something very pretty!
It is cold here but almost sunny so I am not complaining (that much) - spring is coming!
Have a cozy and crafty day!
Yours,
Mia
Hi Mia, I am another linen lover, that bag is beautiful....do I sense a matching set in the pipeline?? It's lovely to see your creativity and how your new work evolves. I have been to meet my dear friend Karen for lunch today...it is so cold again here and I got lots more comments about your wonderful scarf, such a happy snowman smiles out to everyone!
Billy sends a kiss,
Keep warm, nearly the weekend!

Hi Jane,
I have been shopping for more linen today (even it was freezing!), and oh, how exited I am to get new items done. And you know me, there's never just one of each thing ;) Except your scarf, that was true one-of-a-kind! I am so happy you liked it!
I'm aunting tomorrow,so it's happy weekend already! And a big kiss to B!

Hello Mia! Adorable bird with beautiful bag! You are an artist!
Thank you for a lovely moment and reminding that we should start to think spring!

Hi Mia,
You know I love linen almost as much as tweed and I think the mix with your felted bird looks perfect. Greta that it's recycled as well.
All the best, Beth

Happy and sunny weekend (yes, soon!)!
