Sleepy owl in mellow yellow

Each owl is made from vintage fabric and filled with chemical-free, French Lavender. You can either place them on your pillow to help you float off to sleep. Or put in your wardrobe (they don't mind the dark!) to make your clothes smell nice. Did you know? Lavender is a good moth repellent. Lavender makes an eco-friendly alternative to conventional moth balls which are full of hazardous chemicals Measurements 4 inches (10cm) high 3.5 inches (9cm) wide About Pouch: www.pouchbags.co.uk At Pouch we make unique accessories and homeware from vintage and recycled material Our range includes not only bags, but belts, peg bags and bag dispensers too Due to the fact we use vintage fabric, many of our items are one-offs and the vast majority are limited edition Our products are robust, practical and very stylish! Individually hand crafted and skillfully sewn to a high standard You can be assured our handmade products have not been mass produced and nobody was exploited in making them Our ethos is to promote low impact, environmentally friendly, local production

Mister Cumulus the brooch

Mister Cumulus won't bring you any rain because he's made with felt, stuffing, and buttons, but not one drop of water. In fact, he'll probably make your day brighter! He's 2.5" across with embroidered details and a silver pin on the back and two pearly buttons make up his cheeks

Blue Hand Knit Wool Hat with Trees and Buttons

This is a one-of-a-kind hat. I made it thinking of those clear winter days when the trees and snow are so bright you have to cover your eyes. It's made of the softest wool and decorated with buttons and wool felt. I have knit items and more in my Etsy shop: kibblesnknits.etsy.com

Knitting is a long and slow process. Many people are surprised at the cost of a hand knit item because we are so accustomed to the prices we see at chain stores.

My hat (with the tree and sun applique) took approximately 7 hours to make.

What I'm wondering is, how long does it take everyone to make these? I asked the maker of the wood puzzle this and I'm simply amazed at his process:

"
Yes, each puzzle is hand made, using a table saw, sanders, a paper pattern glued to the taped-over wood, then hand-guided cutting the pattern on a scroll saw. Then more sanding of all corners & edges on a flap sander, and finished with food-safe oil. Then each puzzle piece is hung to dry in front of a large fan for at least 2 days before shipping.
