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.

Feeling hopeful

It's been a busy month and my small steps are quickening.

I have so many things in my head I want to do that I need another month in the year to complete them. My character workshop was so much fun with such lovely lovely ladies. They also gave me lots of ideas too. Maybe I need an extra two months a year! 

Heres what they managed to get through in a day. They now know how to make faces and hands!

Isn't it amazing that they all look different!

The wonders of felting eh? 

Time flies

I can hardly believe how crazy this last month has been! After completing my July workshop, I was asked to do another in the Highlands of Scotland! I love this country, despite the 6 hour drive the views are worth it.

I had an incredible time and so did everyone! 

And we made some great Owls!

I am hoping to go back up nearer christmas time for a festive workshop.

Since I've been back I've been making sheep and snowman workshops and kits with more on the way!

Back to my makes and orders and planning my next workshop! 

Lots of small steps this month.

What a hoot!

Although I have done a lot of needle felting workshops for the Womens Institute, I had never done one for myself. 

I had a few ladies ask me if I did them and the last lady made me go for it! Whats the worst that could happen? No one comes? 

I approached the local community centre and agreed to hire it on 7th July. I then had a mad panic!

What happens if no one comes. Oh dear it was a risk I was going to have to take....

I advertised it on facebook, creating an event and made a poster to advertise in the local shops, then crossed my fingers.

I didnt know how to get people to pay for the event beforehand ( please tell me if you do) so I had to hope for the best.  A few people put on Facebook that they were 'going' but were they? Really? 

What do I get them to make? Now that was a decision. I decided after much thought that owls were a good choice. 

So I set to making tutorials and samples and buying in different coloured wool. I did use my own carded core which gave me great satisfaction I must tell you. 

I started to get a few phone calls asking if they could book on and my nerves calmed slightly.

With everything made and the car loaded up, I went to set up still wondering if I would have anyone there.

With everything ready the first car pulled up, then another and another. I was so relieved I nearly cried.

I had 8 ladies all excited to start.

And how did it go?

Take a look 

ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY WELL.

They all loved it and want to book again for another one and I sold 4 of my kits! 

They have given me such good feedback and reviews on my facebook page 

Www.facebook/feltsforever 

That I haven't felt ( excuse the pun) so happy and fulfilled in a long time.

Will I do another?

Oh yes! 

I cant wait!

Please come!
