Happy 2009!

We are 12 days into the new year and I have not had a minute to post anything on here.
Well it is typical of a crafter's life to build all of the goodies to sell on Etsy and to local customers, then leave yourself very little time to get your personal gift crafting done.
This means, of course, that I have the last gifted hat and scarf set done just today!
Poor Amber probably gets most of my gifts way late!
I still owe her a tank halter and a shadow knitted DNA scarf, which are both well started, but are either too complicated to finish quickly, or I end up getting a paying gig that has to come first.
My family is soooo patient with me.

So in the Needle Felting Homefront: I am working on my first facial likeness. It is a Marilyn Monroe evening bag. It has a picture of Marilyn on the front and it is a bit 3-D. (not double D)
I am also working on a siamese cat, and a miniature bunny.
I am developing the patterns for a needle felted heart pendant necklace and I am launching that class at Ewephoria.ca
I am developing my Bunny class and I am also doing some non-needle felting classes.

In the Month of January I am teaching beginner knitting for 4 classes and the goal is to complete a modern slouchy beret and scarf set.
In February I will begin to teach the beginner "My First Sweater Class"
I would say that it will be 4 wks in length too.

Chow For Now!
