one...

i can't believe it, red felt flower is one year old today... it seems like only yesterday that i started here, emerging from the fog of being a new mum and finding my feet in a wonderful new world...


this corner of my home is a special one for me, i made these little framed pieces while i was still pregnant with little moo, filled with excitement and dreams for the days ahead...

one year on i feel like i am emerging from a fog of a different kind, but the words that are written here still resonate for me...

laugh, share, dream and create...

i'm currently re-organising my workspace and i'm so excited about starting to work on some projects again...

but for now, a big thank-you to all who stop by and especially to those of you who have become such dear friends xxx

red...

last but not least...

the final bundle, cheery spots and stripes in bright red...


as usual, the first person who comments and sends their details will receive this last box of ribbon...

all the little parcels will be sent out on monday, thanks for playing :)

blue...

hidden treasure...

beneath the satin and organza is a rather special ribbon...


it's quite traditional almost like a tapestry, heavy with a thick wired blue edge... i've had this roll for the longest time, i always had a notion that it was french...

i discovered today that it isn't, but it doesn't matter, it's still lovely...

be the first and it's yours...

black & grey...

whimsy on wednesday...

so todays bundle makes me really happy, although i do realise that it won't be to everyone's taste...


charcoal grosgrain, smoky and dense, i just adore these ribbons and use them a lot... and really there is nothing finer than to have a ribbon that you love in three widths, 6mm, 13mm and 22mm...

and there's a tiny bit of habu in there because you know i love that too!

you should know what to do by now...

brown...

perfect for a box of chocolates...

today we have some grosgrain, striped and plain and another lovely satin...


did you guess it would be brown?

be first to comment, send your details to redfeltflower(at)gmail(dot)com and this little bundle will be coming your way...

white...

more whimsy...

todays box of ribbon... are you wondering what's inside?


simple and lovely, cream satin with a some organza tucked underneath... heaven forbid i could only have one roll of ribbon it would be a classic satin every time... the weight of it in my hand, the way it falls with a nod and a wink to ribbons of old...


and yet happy to be thrown together with a touch of habu to become a thoroughly modern girl...

so be first to comment and send your details to redfeltflower(at)gmail(dot)com (the only rule being one bundle per person so the fun of the ribbon giveaway gets shared around)

a touch of white later today and more ribbon tomorrow sometime...

hee hee one hundred...

so here we are at number 100... hope you don't mind a bit of a jumbled post today as there is lots to make mention of...

firstly the divine package i received from eireann for the trimswap that she organised, i'm such a lucky girl, these ribbons really are exquisite... thank-you so much eireann, i love them!


and the little parcel that i sent to kristi has arrived safely... (take a peek at what was inside...)

Frederic Clement "The Merchant of Marvels" (isbn0811816648)

i love nothing better than to package up special somethings and as you probably know by now, ribbon is one of my favourite things...
so as well as exploring colour this week, i also want to share a little bit of whimsy with you... a different bundle of ribbon every day...


some pretty pinks to get us started, just imagine how sweet these would look around a bunch of freshly picked flowers... if you would like these ribbons, be the first person to leave me a comment and then send your contact details to me at redfeltflower(at)gmail(dot)com...

more to come tomorrow...
