Welcome!

Colour and Texture - Whether flowers, knitting, felting, crochet or home making, these are the essentials of my life. I hope you enjoy them too.

Rush Wool


Had a good night in Rushworth demonstrating felting for Wendy of Rush Wool. Lots of nice crafty ladies. Good to catch up with old friends, and lovely to make some new ones. Felting has played second fiddle to knitting and scrumbling lately, so the only photos to add tonight are nothing to do with felting.

recuperating and knitting

Two weeks today since my surgery and I have woken this morning feeling rather well. have tried to knit but my concentration was poor. But my entries were finished in time to be submitted to Wangaratta's Stitched Up Festival in July, and I have been offered a stall at the Makers Market on the closing day of the festival, July 10. Now I have to get working again to have enough items to sell.

My granddaughter Emma has entered her felting in the childrens categories, and my daughter in law Lydia has submitted her stunning coat and bags. This means if any of us win a prize I get to take the credit as both teacher and encourager! Three generations of Heap women entering is rather special.

knit one purl one scrumble heaps


Looking forward to doing a follow up workshop at Butterfly Studio in Christmas Hills once I recover from some surgery scheduled for this week. Wangaratta Stitched Up biennial festival is coming up in July and if I am well enough I hope to be at the Makers Market, so am working on a new range of felting and scrumbling.
