Easter bunnies workshop

And what an amazing day it was. The sun was shining we had hot cross buns and tea and coffee flowing.

Such a lovely group of ladies. We felted, chatted and laughed all day. 

One lady sent me this one after she had worked on him a little more. Isn't he just so cute! 

I'm so pleased with how this workshop went.

Time flies

How fast is this year going? Or is it just me? 

I have been busier than I ever thought I could dream of. I can't believe that four and a half years ago I had never heard of needle felting and now look how it's taken over my life. 

I've started doing workshops for two local craft shops as well as my own and I've been busy making new workshop ideas too! 

And...... And...... And...... I have finally had my first sale on my Etsy shop! Whoop whoop! 

As it's coming up to Easter shortly, I decided to try and master bunnies for a workshop. 

What do you think? 

I have a workshop booked for the 25th March. It should be fun! 

Easter Eggs???????

Yesterday I had the pleasure of teaching a group of ladies to needle felt. I thought since Easter was looming that I would show them how to make Easter Eggs.

 They had other ideas. We ended up making chicks, minions, bunnies, cats, owls as well as eggs.

These ladies had such fun they were crying with laughter.

Great fun was had by all. I hope they ask me back soon.

Womens Institute bunny

Last year i had the pleasure of being invited to a local Womens Instiute to show tell them all about needle felting and to show them how to make a christmas bauble.

36 lovely ladies came and made me very welcome and we spent two hours felting away creating the their own decorations. 

Later I got some really good feedback from them and recently was asked to go again to show them something a bit more challenging. This session was only meant to last for an hour and a half but they enjoyed it so much it lasted for three hours! And during that time we drink tea, ate cake and felted furiously!  

I got some lovely feedback again and today one of the ladies who didnt have time to stay and finish her bunny off. Send me this lovely photo to show me she had completed it and how happy she was with the demonstration I gave. 

Here is her bunny

And here is the one i made for them to recreate.

I think she did a really good job, dont you. 

I will post some more photos of the other bunnies soon

A Womens Institute Easter.

I have such a busy week ahead, working more hours, dentists and hospital appointments to attend. I thought i had better start to get myself organised for a needle felting class i am doing at a local Womens Institute over the Easter holidays.

I did my first one for them before christmas and they said they loved it so much, they have asked me to come back.  For the one i did at christmas we made a felted christmas bauble, as it's getting closer to Easter and they already have a little experience, they have asked if they could make something Easter related and a bit more difficult.

After giving it much thought and doing a bit of research i made this.

I call it the bunny-egg!

So today has been spent making samples, tutorials and making wool packs up.

Making sure each lady will have the right amount of wool. Carefully weighing how many grammes are needed. Then packing them up.

I now have a box full of twenty packs and a tutorial ready for printing.

I still have more work to do but i feel better knowing i have made a good start.

I will blog the results later.
