I have discovered that of all the felt I make, I sell more jewellery than anything else.  Maybe it’s because its small and relatively cheap and can be given as a present ?  But I don’t really know why it sells better.  This fact frustrated me for quite some time , but now I have decided to embrace it.

I find making jewellery relatively easy . More to the point is very portable  and with my increasingly  nomadic, two country, lifestyle that brings loads of opportunities.   Slowly as I travel I have been making the odd extra pieces.  The pieces were never all together until this week .  When I stopped and counted and realized I had 40 pieces !!  How did that happen ?    Most of them are brooches . This one is my favorite .

I also have quite a few necklaces and have been experimenting with making fold flat stands .  The stand still need some improvement.

How many pieces do I need ? Are my 40 pieces enough  ?  On Friday  I decided well maybe just a few more , perhaps with a bit of sparkle for Christmas.  So with some fabric and some prefelt scraps , another four are partly made , just ready for some stitching and beading.  More on them later .
