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! 

2017

Well it's the start of another year and I'm hoping for it to be a life changing one, well part of my life anyway.

I have had a busy christmas, busy felting that is. 

Here are some of the things I've been working on. Some are for future workshops too.

Christmas workshops

Its not too far off that time of year and never have I had  such fun in the run up to it, as I have doing the christmas workshops. Not only have I had fun but I've some wonderful people and showed them the joys of needlefelting.

Watching the creations come to life is so exciting, especially when it's someone who isn't particularly crafty and they can't believe they have made something so good.

Didn't they all do well!  

Instagram

I've always scoured the internet looking for inspiration for needle felting projects, usually pinterst.

But recently I joined Instagram, I love the fact that like Pinterest, it's so visual.

I came across a lovely instrammer called joyful gnomes.

They had some wonderful gnomes and one inparticular caught my eye.

I thought she would be lovely to felt, so I asked joyful gnomes if they minded if I felted her, they said they would be honoured.

A few weeks later I finished her. 

I posted her on instagram and joyful gnomes was so delighted they posted this picture.

I'm looking for more inspiration now! 

There's another one!

I love making these characters. 

I think I have found it.

I have been needle felting for four years now. I have dabbled in all kinds of different ideas from christmas decorations, rabbits, frogs, dogs and characters. And although I have been happy with what I have made I have always had that niggle inside me that 'it could be better' or 'it wasn't just what I had in mind' not that half of my creations turn out like I expect them to, they just morph and I like it that way but something always niggled.

I always knew whatever I would end up making would be something fantasy, mythical or character based, thats what I'm drawn too but I needed to find 'it' you know that one thing that I can create, but replicate in different ways. 

Well last week I found it. Something clicked. I've done it. I feel like this is it. 

I have found my path and can see a way forward. 

Here is my first of what will be many.

Meet Erci

I just love him. Do you?
