About Marie Jahn...

I am a mum of 2 girls, now aged 10 and 12. Three summers ago my daughters and I went on a 3 hours felting course, well from that moment on, I became addicted to felt, I just loved working with all the lovely bright coloured wools! At the time I was working part time for a local Wine Imorters, I would leave work at 3:15 pick the children up and try to be the pefect mum, and then when both girls were in bed out would come all the felting wool and creations would be made normally into the wee early hours! A year ago now I was made redundant (big smile on my face!), with my redundancy package I brought a Studio (which my husband built in our garden) and a Labradoodle Pup, so now when the girls are at School I spend my day felting in the Studio and walking the dog (of course not at the same time!).

Inspirations.....

The wonderful bright colours of felting wool that are available, lliterally every colour of the rainbow, inspire me to create lovely bright coloured gifts such at tea/cafetiere cosies, corsages, felted sweets, bags, purses......., I like to think my felted creations are happy, bright and fun!

Best Sellers...

My best sellers have to be my brightly coloured tea and cafetiere cosies, every good tea pot & cafetiere plunger should not be without one!, I like to think they bright up a kitchen!

Spotlight on Millsy Designs....

We last posted about Georgina North and her business, Millsy Designs, back in May prior to our first fayre. Georgina sells beautifully personalised towels, flannels and aprons and she has been very busy designing many new styles.

multi-coloured pink range

multi-coloured blue range

Monogrammed flannels - they make great stocking fillers.

These pretty heart hand towels are also availble in red hearts.

It's never too early to start thinking about Christmas and if you fancy a seasonal themed towel, what better than an I 'heart' Santa towel for the kids, trying to get into the main man's good books is nothing to be ashamed of! The hand towels are great too, especially when guests are visiting, so jolly to see a line of christmas trees in the kitchen or bathroom!

Georgina will also have a range of tea cosies on her stall too, all beautifully handmade......

....perfect for the colder weather, how decadent it is to make a whole pot of tea for one keeping it warm under one of these until the very last drop, or invite your friends round for 'high tea' to show it off!

Millsy Designs will be at the Harpenden Fayre, on Thursday 24th September, opens at 9.30am, ends at noon. You can contact Georgina at email: millsy.info@googlemail.com, soon to be selling on Etsy. Check out her blog too.
