Long time no felt

I made the mistake of mowing the lawn on the bank holiday last week and the bad karma broke the mower when it was only half done, so I started today cutting the rest of the grass with shears. It's really tiring so I gave up. Then I cleaned the deep fat fryer and made doughnut dough. 

Having made a present for mum this week I decided to do a house warming gift for my niece Natalie who moved into her own place a few weeks ago. I made a set of place mats for Claire a few years ago so decided to do some more.

I made the large piece then cut it into quarters to achieve more even sized mats than last time.

We decided that owning a set of table mats in the mark of being proper grown up ... so here you are Nat, welcome to the adult world x
