Bee Mellor and I have been friends for a very long time and it is fun to work together on this jewellery project. I do the felting and needlefelting providing the base for our items. Bee cuts into and machine embroiders this adding buttons or dyed silk ties making the brooches and pendants. We tend to like the same colour combinations and both love the designing/making process. This jewellery is only sold in Handmade Happiness.
I never know who is going to come into the shop next. Yesterday I had the first request for a Christmas raffle prize (I get lots of those and I'm not sure, to be honest, whether it is good for the shop to oblige or not!) And a joyful conversation with an expert knitter who loves knitting aran jerseys (the ones with all those cables). Her mother enjoys knitting Fair Isle patterns which I'd also love to have in the shop and her sister loves making all kinds of things. Fingers crossed they will be happy to see some of their work for sale in Handmade Happiness!
