Easter is over and I’m now sewing lots of gorgeous felt sachets with Mothers’ Day in mind. I’m making a range of embroidered lavender hearts (see photo - work in progress), perfect for hanging in a wardrobe or placing in a drawer or linen cupboard. I’m using essential lavender oil and NZ grown lavender rubbings from Lotus Oils in Waipukurau. Lovely! They’ll come in a range of stunning colours, each with buzzing bees on the hunt for nectar.

In other news, website updates and social media posts will be on a go-slow for the next few weeks, as it’s time to give my needles, beads and thread a well-deserved rest. Back soon. Sara x

Sara adores making exquisite felt figures and ornaments for festive occasions, with each one individually and lovingly stitched and embellished with colourful thread and beads. Valentine’s Day pōhutukawa felt hearts have sold well in the fabulous Morrinsville Gallery. More creations are currently underway for Easter, Mothers’ Day and more. Suggestions and commissions welcome.
