My Craft

Carnival Creatures 

I dreamt these, goodness knows what goes on in my head. When minister at Stoke Methodist Church there was a great opportunity to work with Stoke Stars, a community group. We took part in the second Stoke Fun Day by making banners and flags and had a stall on the day. These little carnival creatures proved quite popular. All made from felt and with new filling.

Pixie Piran

I decided to make a little pixie as I had lots of green snooker table felt. I soon realized that this was going to be a large pixie which developed its own character. Piran is a confident pixie who can flutter his eyelashes to get his own way. He stands for justice,equality and diversity, and promotes God as LOVE.

Cheri and Fitz ponies

I was privileged to be the minister at Cheriton Fitzpaine Methodist Church for four years before the church closed earlier this year (2024) I started making the two legged ponies to raise funds for the church, I made sewing kits too, they were all popular. Some were called Cheri and the others were Fitz. I made a few donkeys too which were called. The felt was new but the filling was old material which had been boil washed.

Little ginger bread people and the Christmas table decorations 

This was a new venture for menwhich I enjoyed but after making four decided that I wasn’t enjoying it. They are quite small and will find out if folk like them soon.
