Exciting things

I was emailed the other day from the chairman of the Lancashire W.I. Federation. If that wasn't exciting enough, she said she had heard how great my needle felt classes were and would I like to do a two day workshop for them next May!

I think I answered the email within 4 seconds with a very big YES. 

Since then we have spoken to sort out the details and now its all booked. Im so happy things are doing in the right direction for me and at a pace that isn't going to make me stressed.

On the other hand something has has been making me stressed is Neil the Sloth! 

Here is an update on him.

He now has his claws which when very well but then I decided I didnt like the colour of his fur so went over the whole body again!

I have made a start to the proportions of his face..... That will be another challenge.

I have until the end of July to complete him so plenty of time yet...

Getting furry

Neil the sloth is making progress. 

Still lots of work to do! And detail detail detail.. My favourite part! 

I had an lovely email this morning from the chairman of the W.I. Federation asking me to do another needle felting class. Im so excited! 

Sloth in the making

Been busy catching up on felting orders after finishing the Alice in Wonderland characters.
Today I made a start on Neil the sloth from the TV adverts. I have got the intial shape and now I am just testing out different wools for his coat. Mmmm its harder than I thought but I am sure I will get there with it. I have tried, Icelandic wool which didnt felt in easily at all. Then I tried Corrindale which i think I will manage with. Its all trial and error!
Does he look like a sloth yet?
