Curious about Needle-Felting or Knitting classes with me? The TWEETUP is a great way to see one of the knitting shops you can find me at, and to see some Needle-Felting Demos. Plus there will be a draw for a Needle Felted Rabbit!

SPECIAL NOTICE ABOUT KIDS' CAMPS:

If you are in York Region, Ontario and you are interested in sending your kid (10-17yrs old) to craft camp to either do: "Knit Animals" or "Needle-Felt Your Way To Halloween" this summer, I am toying with the idea of doing a couple of 4 day camps. They would be from 10:30-2:30 Tues- Fri, or 11:30-3:30 Tues- Fri during selected weeks in the summer. There will be a limit to 4 kids per class and the age limit is definitely 10 minimum. You will have to provide a packed lunch.
COST WILL BE $160.00(for the 4dy camp) plus materials
(if Mom's want to participate as a Mom and kid duo then Mom will get their own fee as $80.00 plus materials)

These camps are in the idea stage now, and could be at Ewephoria yarn shop in Richmond Hill or at Unwind Yarn House in Newmarket.

I will only do them if there is an interest. So if you are interested leave me a comment or contact me at my email: motivatedmotion@sympatico.ca

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.
