A giveaway ~ rainbow wool!

Knitting with rainbow wool is really rather delicious. Watching the colours emerge and become. And I particularly love Indigo Inspirations‘ hand painted rainbow wool. It is lovely and soft to work with and the colours are divine.

I’ve used many Indigo Inspirations‘ craft materials and am always tempted to get more! It’s also great to support small business ~ and Indigo Inspirations is a small business ~ with Jo Hodges as owner, operator and entire staff!

Jo is based in beautiful Mullumbimby in Northern New South Wales, Australia. She is happily living in an old farm house and spends most of her time painting wool and felt on her veranda {sounds rather blissful to me!}

You can be tempted by Jo’s craft materials on Etsy or connect via Indigo Inspirations online, Facebook and Instagram.

And now I’m excited to give you a chance to try this gorgeous wool for yourself!

How to make a rainbow peg doll

Sometimes I need to remind myself to keep it simple when it comes to crafts. I get all excited thinking about little hats, clothes, wings, not to mention adding in some paint here and there. Keeping it simple can be so very lovely though. And sometimes simple means finding the time to craft amid everything else.

To make a simple rainbow peg doll I used:

My daughter crafted alongside me, painting her own little peg doll. While I painted a rainbow on mine.

We chose some felt for our wings and I cut out a simple wing shape.

I sewed some thread along the middle of the wings, then wrapped it around the neck of the peg doll twice. Stitching into the felt each time I went around. We added a little glue to hold the wings against the back of the peg dolls.

Finished and ready for play!

 Warmly, Kelly
