Fleecy Fibre And Bustin' Out Bunny Classes This Weekend


I got some awesome face wool from Gemini Fibres. The top one is dark and the bottom one is called badger face...



I got my kits ready early for this weekend's workshops. The kits contain Roving, felting needles, a sponge and beads to make two bunnies, plus I have a manual for each kit. All bunny designs created and designed by me.


I will be at Ewephoria in Richmond Hill (Oak Ridges), on Yonge St. The workshop is 11-5 Saturday.
I will be at Unwind Yarn House in Newmarket, on Main St. The workshop is 10-4 on Sunday.
Come by and visit...



These are the bunnies we are making.....



Come on Down To the Shops and you might just get "Felt-UP" (get your mind out of the gutter!)

Kitchener with Jeremy Hotz -Feb 28 2009

I got to give Jeremy his miniature tonight.
He asked for a couple of photos taken with the miniature.

I hope Sam enjoys his new home with Jeremy and the Real Sam....

Sam Is Going To A New Home!

Tonight is the Jeremy Hotz show in Kitchener.
We have front row tickets!

Jeremy always does a "meet-in-greet" for the fans after the show.
I have some photos from the last show I have matted for him to sign, and I am going to give him a miniature of his Dog Sam.

Don't tell him! LOL


It took me 30 hours to complete Sam. I had a couple of small photos that showed me his shape and colours. It was interesting making a long-haired dog. I have to basically affix every long hair on its own then when all the hairs are in place I have to groom him! I didn't know grooming was so difficult! I now appreciate the work my friend Pauline does....

I can just imagine the weirdness of it all......Jeremy Hotz's Canadian fan gives him a miniature of his dog made of.......matted hair wool! I am sure I have just given him a new line for his show LOL

The Needle Felting Hiadus Is Over

It seems like forever since I have properly needle felted.
I have been quite busy these last months with knitting classes I am teaching. Plus I have had some computer problems that have slowed me down a lot.

I am in the middle of a new project.
It is Sam The Dog.
It is a miniature replica of a famous comedian's dog.

I don't want to reveal too much yet.

I will be working on it full-time, all week, and hopefully it will be done for Saturday.

I will have photos when Sam is all finished.

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!
