Felting is Fun!


Having recieved an adorable little felting kit from Green Mountain at Etsy, I immediately had to purchase some poundage (and extra needles as I lost mine in an intsant) from a bigger supplier: Peace Fleece. Yay for felting! Bears and sheep and dollies oh my! Been so busy needlefelting I haven't posted in a long time - oh yeah and I have been busy with those four kids of mine :) Isn't that a great playscape they created for their bear?


Been knitting alot of hats for this upcoming winter, just developed a nice earflap edition of the classic which I am very pleased with and opened a line called the Waldkinder winter knits. Having been fascinated with a mothering article on kindergarten being held in the Swiss mountains, warm and wooly knits for little wandering forest children have been on my mind!

Waldkinder apperantly means 'forest child' in German and what an appropriate term for my little winter troopers! Amazingly inspired I began knitting and knitting booties and hats and scarves galore! Now onto mittens and little bags for woodland treasures and oh so much more!

Just a short post today with a two year old sucking his thumb in my lap and an organic pink hat to knit for a babe with a nineteen inch head I do indeed need to be on my way! Love and Blessings to All!

We're Bloggin'


Yay! We are up and blogging! Err...now what should I write? I guess a good solid hello and who we are would probably do, huh? Hello! 'We' is Codilollyskye, so far it's not much but a seed in soil has room to grow! Codilollyskye is a little crafty mama business featuring organic knits for baby, healing herbals and bath/body products and we're working on some stitched items, hopefully you'll see them pouring out soon!
Codilollyskye is a combination of my (Alyssa, that's me) four children's names: Lacoda River (Cody), Lillian Rain (Lilly), Oliver Steven (Olly) and Orion Skye. They make lovely inspirations and models for our products and pretty darn good kids too. To the left here is little Oliver, he just turned two years old and he is shown in a 0-24 month sized Organic cotton hat in Skye blue.
I am really into Organic and natural materials and am delving into wool felting as soon as my wool arrives in the mail via www.greenmountain.etsy.com great site! I am pretty excited, I feel very drawn and inspired to do this craft. Right now I am making baby booties and hats and am soon to be posting them as sets. I have made mittens and scarves for my own little family and now is definitely the time to be getting those out there as well! I can't wait to embellish my creations with little felted wool pieces! As you can probably imagine it is rather difficult to carve time out to do the crafts I am so inspired to create with all my little kidlins running around, however I do expect to see some new things floating your way soon. We would love to get some feed back, what do you think? Email us at codilollyskye@yahoo.com or...
