I'm back with pictures of your prize!!!

Ladies and Gentleman readers of .Hand.Made.Heart.Felted - my heartfelt (!) apologies to you all. Unfortunately with one thing and another (including forgotten password which wasn't actually forgotten) and losing my camera so I couldn't photograph your prize, my poor little blog has gone down the swannie this month!

However, I am back with a vengeance and ready for the giveaway. You can enter the giveaway HERE.

I am very pleased to show you your prize which is this .Hand.Made.Heart.Felted scarf made by Yours Truly (me!) and inspired by THIS project. My version is made of muslin cloth, it is very light but also very warm. It has a shabby, rough finish - this is intentional to make it look all vintagey.

I made one for myself and adore it, but this baby will be on it's way to the lucky winner!!

[Hello sexy blue pyjamas on the model!]

It is gorgeous and long, but thin so it feels delicate. The muslin cloth gives it a really light and vintage feel, but it is surprisingly warm too.

Welcome readers, welcome!

Thanks for another fab month of comments, ratings, feedback and e-mails I've had from everyone this month.

Please don't forget to enter the giveaway that is currently running on this blog.
When we reach 85 followers, I'll post a picture of the prize.
Thanks for all your support.

And so here we go with this month's reader made items.



1. Make a Storage Box (originally shown HERE)
by the talented Rufusdog from MSE has come up with another corker.




Aren't they fabulous?!

She also gives some fab tips: " I found I had to put some cardboard in the sides and front as even with the strongest interfacing I had they were still floppy. I will be putting some bits in them (crafty stuff in one and stationery stuff in the other) then will fill a black bag with rolled up newspaper to pad them out so they dont get crushed.

The insides were an old bedspread which I had and didnt use and the fronts were old curtains. The only thing I bought special was the foam for the bottom which was about £10 for the two pieces, I think I could have used cardboard."

There you have it, another amazing make from Rufusdog!

2. Door Stops (first shown HERE)
from the lovely Lucy at Crafting in a Beach Hut



Lucy said "

They look so cute and would brighten up any room. I struggled a bit with the handle (*blush*) but otherwise they were simple and fun. They are also a great way of using up small scraps of material left over from other projects. I already have orders from family and friends for more, although I can't bear to give any away at the mo so they may just have to wait!

"

I think they are fabulous and I hope to make some soon!

A big Thanks to everyone who submitted their items.
