Mild Animals are a collection of small cushions worked in my hand dyed vintage blanket fabric. An addition to the sofa, or a little pal to cuddle perhaps.

Each piece of blanket is dyed separately so there are variations in shade as well as minor blemishes in the original blanket which may show up as darker areas. These are to be celebrated - the blankets have had a life!

The kits all contain pieces of blanket for front and back, a tissue paper design, needle and threads. There is a simple stitches guide card as well as detailed guidance on how to transfer the design and create your cushion. The kits do not contain stuffing.

Contented Cat - this sleeping ginger friend comes with gingery orange blanket and two shades of cotton perle thread and measures approx 28cm x 16cm

Noble Elephant - the proud fellow is made with mottled grey blanket, dark blue and variegated cotton perle thread and measures approx 26cm x 24cm

Midnight Hare - the silent hare sprinkled with stars is in mid/dark blue blanket with white cotton perle thread and measures approx 20cm x 28cm

I donated my dyes and dye pots to @atbirkhillhousefibre this morning.
They will be well used and appreciated by this organisation that does so much good in the Scottish Borders. 

At Birkhill CIC is an animal assisted therapy and crafting centre, offering mental health support in several hands-on ways. Whether it’s caring for the alpacas and 🐑Castlemilk Moorit flock, tending the dye garden, sorting fibre or crafting items for the on-site shop, there are many volunteering possibilities here as well as classes and workshops open to everyone. 

I’ve run a few classes here in the past and felt thoroughly inspired by my brief visit today. Perhaps next year when I have a better balanced work life I can attend some workshops myself🤗

Resident 🦚was not prepared to display today when there was breakfast on offer…

I cast on a basic raglan sweater with lots of subtle colour changes to keep me interested. This will just be a whenever project - a few rows now and again and no hurry. I am using the Latvian yarn I bought from @balticknitsscotland held with an anonymous bargain black 4ply bought from @kingcraig_fabrics in Dornoch.

🪬I love making and packaging and finding quirky fabrics to incorporate in my kits. I’ve never lost my childhood delight in playing with scraps of paper and pencils, yarn and fabric.
BUT
I have a more recent love too, planning and leading textile tours in the UK and beyond. Whole new vistas have opened up for me and I don’t want to miss a thing!
SO
The Tart shop will close late summer. In the meantime I have new makes and interesting bundles to add to the shelves. Newsletter subscribers always know about these first and often snap up my limited edition goods before I have time to tell anyone else. 
PLEASE
Sign up so you don’t miss out! There are bargains to be had from now until late summer.
THEN 
I hope to have some time to be creative in other ways for quite a while.

I needed a very simple project yesterday. Picked some red mix random 4ply leftovers, held them double and cast on the simplest of hats. Just love how it’s turning out!
