Needle Felting FUN

Please go to this Etsy link on how to learn how to do this! YEA FOR NEEDLE FELTING!!

Speaking of Needle Felting - I found this artist Domenica More Gordon the other day.  She makes great doggies! Her doggies are owned by some famous people and they do sell for approximately $400.00. 

    

Hugs all! Nan

Actively watching....

Wee Wonderful Blog Tour

 

I am a huge fan of Hillary's - not just because she is from Illinois but she is extremely talented. I adore her Stichettes - See? Illini Fans!

 

Spooks also called MI-5 over here. It is like 24 but with a British Accents. OH, I love Ros. If I could only be that witty. But really? I believe I am everyones RUTH!  Interestingly, they are going to make remake it in the USA. Boo.

Giraffes! I just got a commission for a Giraffe! Now if I could only figure out the color....

Right - Aine is already zzing - so I have to go as well! Hugs! Nan and Aine.

Pumpkins pumpkins everywhere a pumpkin

 

Pumps for the swap. Not only did I needle felt some flat pumpkins but I finally used my German Glass glitter for some tag pumpkins! 

Also a pumpkin left the Shoppe to find a new home! YEA! Soon I will have to be putting up holiday stuff! Double YEA!

And than there is always the Little Pumpkin. But she better not go anywhere!*huggles her*

Sorry for the lack of posts, but I will be back on track tomorrow!  HUGS! Nan & Pumpkin Aine.

 

 

Rufus the Wannabe PUG finds a HOME!

I am so happy to say that Rufus and his candy cane is going to a home filled with kiddies and two puggies! YEA!

Aine thought she would wait for the post  -in her halloween costume -so that Rufus can have a proper send off.

"Bye bye Rufus!" said Aine. "We will miss you! Have fun at your new home!"she yelled.  

No worries Aine! Now I get to make more puggie stuff! YEA!

Hugs! Nan and Aine

 

 

 

Give Fleece a Chance

 

Just saw this on Etsy.  I wish there would be a push here too.

To think it costs  to sheer outweigh the profits. Wow. As a Wool Needle Felter, that is amazing.

  

Nothing here, lets move along....

Except us working. Now I must get Mummy back to work on felting! Aíne

*squee* I am in a Treasury!

Well I guess it is time to debut Hope, the Democratic Donkey. However, she is a bit nakers at the moment.  So let me just show you her face....

Isn't she CUTE!?! Sorry a bit biased I am. When she is complete I will show you the rest of the get-up.

Okay I am off to felt - it is only 15 more days till the Cantigny Fall Fest and I have little time to felt muchly. 

Hugs! Nan

PS - Please remember to go to my blog the other day and put in something you want me to felt! You could win a Jenny Bowlin kit!!! Hugs! Nan

George, The Tea Party Baby Elephant

Oh Hai there, This is George!   Yes I think this is one of my  needle felted favorite critters to date.  George is for a workmate of mine at work who is expecting a wee little Republican.   So I thought George would be a cute little critter for the baby's room. George is fully movable and his trunk holds the United States Flag and guess how I made it all 'vintagey"?   TEA!  LOL.  LOVE IT!  His nappies are blood red wool. 

He sits so nicely  too.  Wiring the body is really important in needlefelting.
 

You can move his trunk - i have more pictures but they are far away and his wee little face is so cute!

Jeeze. Now I think I need to make a Donkey called Hope. :)  What should I needlefelt next?!

PS - the pumbkin is already gone! My sister nabbed it. lol. HUGS! Nan

Aine says: whats this stuff?

Mummy just came back from the Quilt show in Rosemont and look at all the goodies she got! Anglophile Fabric,  NUMMY WOOL ROVING!(*squee* says Mummy)

Than THIS thing followed my Mummy home from a rummage sale. I guess it is called a Royal De Luxe manual typewriter.  Mummy says it still works and that she is looking for the serial number so she can see when it was born. She got it for 10 bucks!  I mean - will you look at this cute case it came with?  Hmm. Maybe iPaddy will be replaced. Mummy says - NOT!

Lastly - I hope you all checked out my adventure with Flat Puglet! We had fun and we will miss you FLATTIE!! xoxo AIne
